So I get a bill from my doctors office telling me that I owe them 110 dollars. I got really fucking pissed off and didn't look at it for a day to avoid getting more pissed off. So I look at my BCBS online account and I see that they denied the claim made by my doctors office. No reason why, just that they don't cover those services even though it says in black and white that they have an allowed amount for my claim.
So I call BCBS and I get put on the infinite hold line. So I email them instead to ask them to explain themselves. Then I call my doctors office and I am sent to billing where no one picks up, just left to leave a message.
One of the things that pisses me off about doctors offices is they don't tell you the cost of procedures or even if they are covered under your plan. It should be a fucking requirement that if it is not going to be covered then they need to fucking tell you that before doing the procedure. Its not fair that I have to find out after the fact and then I have to pick up the bill because these jack offs don't want to communicate.
I call BCBS the next day and I get a hold of someone. They inform me that my doctor is out of network hence the denial. The reason though is because my doctor does not accept HMO. The mother fuckers don't accept HMO even though they gladly let me continue service knowing this. I need to collect as much information as possible in order to fight my way out of this one. I don't want to pay.
