Nice little story here out of California.
...Much to her surprise, Michael discovered that Anesthesiology Consultants of Marin was not in her network.
... Michael said information on
Anthem Blue Cross's website indicated that the Marin Hospitalists
Medical Group was also outside Blue Cross' network of providers for
Covered California customers.
...The dawning of Obamacare
has resulted in confusion over which medical groups supplying ancillary
services to the hospitals — anesthesiologists, radiologists,
pathologists and hospitalists — have contracted with Blue Shield and
Anthem Blue Cross to serve their new Affordable Care Act customers. The
insured with these plans must pay substantially more for any service
provided by a doctor outside their insurer's network of providers.
In fact, Blue Shield's
exclusive provider organization (EPO) customers in Marin must pay 100
percent of the cost for out-of-network services....
Let's remember that the (R) Party has decided to cave on ObozoCare. That's because they *care* about their constituents, of course.

"Michael said she purchased her insurance directly from Anthem Blue Cross."
ReplyDeleteDo you even read this shit anymore? Insurance companies have been pulling this stuff forever. Obamacare has nothing to do with anything.
Clearly, I can read AND comprehend.
ReplyDeleteYou still have problems with both.
