I have my wife's insurance, except they deny every claim submitted for me with a "Do you have other insurance?" BS. No. I have her insurance. Pay it.
Went in for a standard wellness check. Can't even call it a physical anymore, since the doc barely touches you. Part of it was a Lipid panel and Glucose.
First round of "we don't insure him" resulted in a bill of $106.00 for the two tests.
Second round went a little better, with - we'll pay for the $24.00 Glucose test, but only pay you $15.23, and he's only going to pay you $53.99 for your $82 Lipid panel. So I got it down to half. That's fine until you search the hospital's web site, and you find a form that says they'll do both for $25.00. Admittedly it is for another hospital in this health system about 80 miles away, but wouldn't you think they'd charge the same or about the same in all their hospitals? Not $25 in this one and $106 in the other one?
To be honest, this insurance BS and weird billing is a large part of why I don't like going to the doctor.
