clearing up some mis-information

[Guest guest]

I never had any problems with my insurance. They have been great. I

my PCP contacted my benefits coordinator for permission to go out of

the area and I received permission within 2 days. I have not had one

bit of trouble. Not one cent has come out of my pocket. My

insurance plan was written for the hospital I work at and if I have

surgery there I pay not one cent for anything. Because they do not

offer this surgery there I received permission to go somewhere else

they are paying this surgery just as if I was doing it at home. I

did not have to pay consultation fees, nutritional consult fees,

nothing to the hospital. Nothing could have gone smoother. I have

BCBSM PPO written for Marquette General Health Systems.

What everyone needs to remember, all insurances are not the same.

Just because someone has the same insurance does not mean the PLAN is

the same. Read your individual plan. If you work at a large corp.

go to your benefit coordinator (through you PCP) first. It just

smooths the road for you later on.
