Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Just to add my two cents...I had a laparoscopy in 2001 at a very large, busy hospital. A month later, WE got socked with the whole bill for the Anesthesiologist! Apparently, the anesthesiologist (try typing that one 3 times fast!) was the only one of three used by that hospital that my insurance company did NOT pay for. I can't tell you how angry I was. I mean, are you supposed to ask every nurse that asks you to pee in a cup if they are covered by your insurance? Are you supposed to hold up your surgery so you can call your insurance to check that every person involved is under your coverage? I couldn't believe it. I appealed 2 times and though they expressed surprise that I actually appealed a 2nd time after being denied, in the end, we had to pay the bill. And now with this whole question about covering Cymbalta, I'm so fed up! (Sigh) Okay, off my soapbox now. Becky Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo! FareChase.
