Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 I have Blue Shield (of California). They have been very good about covering alternative treatments. One reason for this I think, is that my doctor is very skilled at knowing how to bill a given treatment.

But, for what it worth.... A friend of mine with kidney cancer, a few years ago, was with Kaiser, and they were helpful when their doctors felt he had a chance of improving-- he was treated at NIH-- but he expressed nothing but frustration later when he relapsed and had multiple cancers. He said he felt they believed he would die and didn't want to waste money. I had Blue Cross/Blue Shield of land about 12 years ago when a candida pneumonia almost killed me. They tried to back out because I got it 6 weeks after the policy went intoeffect, on the grounds of pre-existing condition. But, when my doctors said it was due to an infection that wasn't pre-existing, they paid up just fine. They also thanked me for questioning $6 tylenol tablets that I had never taken, and $150 each for 8 pints of blood kept on hold that seemed uncalled for. jim Ken Gullan - IRI wrote: >Just thought I would ask! :-) My wife has decided that we need family health insurance despite the fact that we never go to hospitals or " regular " doctors so nothing that we do would be covered.
