Hey quick USian question. Has anyone got #BBL paid for by #Regence / #BlueShield / #BlueCross insurance (anywhere in the states, but WA would be most useful), and if you have do you mind sharing which provider it was with?

(DM's fine)

Because #BlueCross has dropped #MountSinai from its network, I tried to have some lab work done at #QuestDiagnostics. The attempt to make an appointment was so obtuse and impossible, I decided to just pay the out-of-network rate to have it done by competent people at Mount Sinai's lab. Something about spending 20 minutes fighting to talk to a human being, only to be told that Quest's office in Melville, which is on their web site, doesn't exist, didn't build my confidence.

Update 1: Now Premera Blue Cross has added a notice to its website. They, too, did not notify HHS (although they may have notified HHS in October and HHS is just behind in updating its breach tool).

Should Northern Light Health patients with Anthem insurance be concerned? https://www.byteseu.com/1250685/ #anthem #BlueCross #BlueShield #Health #HealthInsurance #NorthernLightHealth

Where is the #care in Health Care? "Blue Cross had stranded many of the center’s patients with high bills, amounts that it had absorbed over the years. On several occasions, though, Blue Cross executives had signed special one-time deals with the center, known as single case agreements, to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment."

Dec 21st, 6 Luigi’s took banners to the Lamar pedestrian bridge in downtown #Austin, and danced to the #Mario theme song. Pedestrians, cheered, wrote letters to Luigi, and even took photos with the banners. Letters ranged from heart wrenching stories about family members being denied healthcare to love letters. Flyers calling out #BlueCross #blueshield the largest health insurance company in Texas, were handed out.

For now at least...#Anthem #BlueCross Blue Shield calls off surgery anesthesia cap. Why it matters: The American Society of Anesthesiologists blasted the insurer for putting "an arbitrary time limit" on anesthesia care. This is far from over. More like testing the waters.#healthcare #insurance

I have what I once thought was comprehensive coverage under #BlueCross - lessons have been learned - this is harbinger of what awaits us in 2025 & beyond as our #healthcare system and #medical #insurance are dismantled piece by piece. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Won’t Pay for the Complete Duration of Anesthesia for Patients’ Surgical Procedures https://www.asahq.org/about-asa/newsroom/news-releases/2024/11/anthem-blue-cross-blue-shield-will-not-pay-complete-duration-of-anesthesia-for-surgical-procedures #deny #denial #delay #depose

blue cross blue shield wants to stop covering anesthesiology drugs behind a fixed amount of time during

_surgeries_?

Healthcare giant Blue Cross Blue Shield will pay $2.8 billion to avoid slew of lawsuits that the company & its affiliates conspired to split up geographic regions in the U.S. to prevent competition and reduce reimbursements to clients.

We go a brochure in the mail from #BlueCross of #Massachusetts in the mail, telling us that in July the list of covered medicines (formulary) will shrink.

As a household with some important prescriptions, I worry we'll lose coverage. But, the brochure also tells us that the list of medications lost won't be available until end of May.

So, I'll have 45 days to worry if I'll be impacted, and then another 30 days until I'm actually impacted.

Spouse brought up a good point: Feels like if I can only buy into a service on an annual basis, the terms shouldn't significantly change within the same year.

Why is it that the #insurance company can change the plan details mid-year, but I can't change the plan we're on, or the insurance provider, until the next enrollment period?

#pharmacists #America #enshittification #law #bullshit #HealthCare

So much for choice.

Our insurance provider, Blue Cross, terminated its contract with a large health care provider here in Arizona. That means that we can no longer go to the hospital that is less than 2 miles from our house. We now have to travel more than 7 miles to arrive at an emergency room our insurance will accept.

Now I have to figure out which doctors we can still see.

#BlueCross and #BlueShield denied payment for the proton therapy Robert “Skeeter” Salim’s doctor ordered to fight his throat cancer.
But he was no ordinary patient.
He was a celebrated #litigator. And he was ready to fight. https://www.propublica.org/article/blue-cross-proton-therapy-cancer-lawyer-denial
