About medical care greed....

[W1GUH]

FWIW, and in my personal case it's worth a LOT....

Just got the statement from my medical insurance company (Cigna - Open Access Plan) where it detailed what was billed, what the Dr's office negotiated with Cigna, what was covered, and what was not, and I was very, very pleased with what it said. There were no surprises, and, it could be that all I have to pay are the co-pays I already paid. And, even if that's not true, what I owe is < $100. That's for an office visit, exam, the endoscopy, and the anesthetist.

What I'm saying is that there is no evidence of any greed on the part of the Dr's office, nor is there any bureaucratic fumbling or meddling on the part of Cigna.

Now that I'm completely involved in health care up to my neck, it's really nice to see this. And, obviously a relief.

Just sayin'...it's not all that bad at all.

Glad it worked out for you so far. Cancer Sucks.

Sure does. But it really helps, big time, when the caring by medical professionals is real. That's what I've seen so far, and what I've been assured I'll find at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.

You are in the process of meeting some of the very best friends you ever had. I have NEVER seen an Oncology group not care, truly and personally, for each of their patients. The departments are seemingly from another time period, back when people actually cared for one another. I hope you enjoy your new family, Christmas is just around the corner and they are your biggest present. Best to you.

Very good to know. Thanks!

This is a true statement. When we went down this road, we found the oncology Dr's, Nurses, and support staff went way above and beyond anything we had ever seen. Even to this day, I've never been around any medical professionals that were more caring and more willing to give of themselves. They will spoil you. All the best.

You can be billed years after a service.

Yea, the proverbial other shoe dropping.
