(Stream of swearing omitted, but just imagine it's there...) So I got another letter from our health insurance provider today. I just found out that Spam's doctor is now out-of-network. Actually, he's been out-of-network since his office canceled their contract with our insurance just two weeks after we confirmed he was in-network. And they didn't tell us anything about canceling the contract, and of course we didn't think to recheck their status before each appointment, and now our 100%-coverage insurance plan is just going to smile and point at our separate out-of-network deductible as we pull out the check book.

Oh, and the kick in the pants is that I found out all of this because Guardian sent me a notice that the doctor had screwed up filing the claim for an office visit and needed to try again without sucking this time.

I am so fed up, it's not even funny anymore.

That sucks. The same thing happened to me. I was referred to a Dr. by my insurance company who said he was in network. I went to him. And thenthe Dr went out of network between when I had my appointment and when the insurance company received the bill. But I think that last part saved me.

After six months of arguing with the insurance company dealing with all their dishonest and self-contradictory excuses, I wrote an editorial in the school newspaper about how the insurance companies were screwing students. I think the school officials got on the insurance company's case because I finally got a call back from the company saying they would take care of it. It was a good thing because the collectors starting to hunt me down about this by then.

I hope you guys can find some way to get them to play fair.
