  1. #MedicalInsurance #Medicare #MedicarePlus

    Just received noticed from #BlueShield that #UCSF, my medical provider for the last 15 years, is leaving the #BlueShieldOfCA #PPO medical network as of 7/10/2025. ☹️

    Just started doing some research on which groups are available where I can find a new PCP & all of the "reviews" for all of the medical groups in my area & beyond are dismal. 🤦‍♂️

    That said, I've found that as long as I get a PCP that I get along with & who is responsive to my needs/requests, I'm happy even if the reviews for the group are poor.

    So, I may need to try a couple in various groups before I find the PCP that I like.

    As the member of a PPO, I don't have to worry all about getting referrals for specialized care but the day-to-day medical care -- labs & prescriptions -- is all I generally need & I just need to find another PCP who is on the same page with me for those things.

    Wish me luck! 😉

  2. Big #Insurance Met Its Match When It Turned Down a Top Trial #Lawyer’s Request for #Cancer Treatment
    #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. propublica.org/article/blue-cr

    I hate the US #healthinsurance system. You shouldn't need to be a lawyer to get #healthcare
