It’s been over a month since I posted about my insurance issues. It’s good to have health insurance, but it’s “bad” to have more than one. When you have multiple coverage, all the payers want to be second in line to pay, not first.
During the month that passed, I called and wrote my work insurance many times. Each time the member advocate (MR) would tell me that the supervisor would contact me but he never did. All I heard was that they were still working on it. I provided them with written documentation and contact info for Medicare but it didn’t seem to help. In the meantime, I had my surgery claim rejected (~$18k) plus two months of dialysis (~$36k per month). It was a bit stressful to have ~$100k of unpaid medical claims.
I sent another message this morning and finally got a reply saying they accept the April 1st cutover date, and will reprocess all the rejected claims during January through March. Yay! I hope they do this quickly since I’m getting second and third notices from my providers.
