Comments on: Medavie Bluecross isn’t really there for me http://heatherhindle.ca/2009/02/16/medavie-bluecross-isnt-really-there-for-me/ —Turning inward Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:26:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ignorant Bystander http://heatherhindle.ca/2009/02/16/medavie-bluecross-isnt-really-there-for-me/#comment-3064 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 02:22:54 +0000 http://heatherhindle.ca/?p=483#comment-3064 No surprise to me. Blue Cross throws all kinds of red tape and forms between you and your refunds. The strategy is to make it so inconvenient you don’t bother.

They denied a claim for a drug prescribed while my son was inpatient at the hospital, saying the prescribing Dr. needed to fill out this special form, where he needed to justify his choice of a certain drug. I would have had to go to the hospital, get them to access my son’s file, figure out the prescribing doctor, find the guy and present him with 20 minutes of paperwork.

Fat chance. I swallowed the $120 for the drug, just like they wanted me to.

Check your plan though to make sure how much coverage you have per year. Be aware, if your plan is not a group plan, expect your premium to go up next year. The premiums are based on use. Welcome to the world of insurance.
You did good, two days without a smoke and I would have politely asked for the supervisor on the first visit.
