Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor’s office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it’s always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I paying $500+/month for?! It’s like paying for the privilege of having an exhausting part-time job.

And yes, I understand that insurance wants to weasel out of paying anything, but this isn’t even shadiness, just straight up incompetence and lack of communication/following procedures. The amount of emotional energy we have to spend untangling this stuff leaves us drained.

    Yeah, I’m in EU and I have never ever contacted my health insurance since the day I chose it. They just send me new insurance cards every couple of years and once they sent a letter that said they have an app that lets me get doctors appointments more easy etc.

      Hah, I had an app that lets me get appointments and prescription renewals …. The app would send an effing fax to the doctors office where it would sit in a pile until I called to ask the same thing
