    I went to a surgery because I was bleeding from my ass. I was told it was covered. When I got here I was told it wasn’t covered. The doctor said it would be. It wasn’t, because the claim codes were in the wrong order. I should have never went into that surgery.

    I’ve been on phone calls with the hospital, the insurance company, the doctor, and the hospital billing office (separate from the hospital and unable to communicate with it for some reason) for well over a year.

    My insurance company assured me that it would be taken care of. They then closed the case and opened at least one other internal case where they say it’s not being taken care of.

    I pay over 10k out of my paycheck to cover my family. That’s before we hit the 4k family deductible and still have to pay 20% on most services.

    God bless the United States healthcare system.

      I doubt your issue is unique in regards to fighting this crap. This is an issue with the insurance complex, not having it to begin with. Healthcare in USA is atrocious.
