#BCBS refused to give us my husband’s card number. They said to get it online. We can’t log in. They transfer us to tech help who says they can’t help us reset it without the card number. Card has yet to come in the mail. They give an 800 number for the urgent care to call and verify his insurance. We drive 7 miles up the road to urgent care. The #UPMCGoHealth says “we don’t do that, call your insurance and get your card number.” It’s $200 to walk in the door without insurance. Husband got them to call the number anyway, they say they’ll only give the number to the member. I am currently…disregulated. To put it mildly.
Finally got the COVID booster today. Apparently our insurance has been refusing to pay for boosters for anyone under 18 so we paid $200 out of pocket for our 4 year old's booster. Here's a hearty boo of shame to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, a real collection of villains who'd deny health care to a child.

NEW: Protected health information of 462,000 members of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana was involved in the massive Conduent data breach that occurred between October 2024 and January 2025.

Montana wants to know why this wasn't reported to the state sooner. We'd like to know that, too.

I'm increasingly frustrated with Highmark. For 5 years I have made payments in the same way (bill pay) using the same bank with the same exact profile with only a single payment a couple years ago not being credited correctly (but quickly resolved). Two months ago they canceled my policy for non-payment and, even with documentation, I fought with 3 different agents before they was corrected and they reinstated my policy. Last week I logged on to their billing site to confirm that last months payment was credited properly and the system said I had no balance due... Great! I sent my payment for next month and now today I get a bill showing I owe 2 months again. How did I owe nothing last week and now owe for 2 months?!

Health care in the US is so broken and in ways that people can't even imagine. This company is cashing checks without crediting them to anyone.

Got a check in the mail from a hospital that treated me for my heart attack a year and a half ago. What for? Turns out that my insurer (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan) reprocessed the claim and covered another $50 of the bill, so the hospital sent that along to me. No complaints -- I can donate this then to some other worthy cause (e.g., #DoctorsWithoutBorders, #MédecinsSansFrontiers). #BCBS

BCBS still has processed my Tandem supply order claim after a month.

If this is a stall tactic, this might result in my next supply order being full price again, instead of the partial coverage it should be.

What’s the point of having this?

#BCBS companies have pursued mergers in #recent years. "We have frequently formed partnerships to bring increased efficiencies, more value and new health care options for our members." #HealthInsurance #Consolidation #Monopolies https://buff.ly/40NXl2g
Arkansas BCBS allegedly considers merger: Report

I am shocked and elated — we won our grievance against #Anthem #BCBS health #insurance. It took several dozens of hours on the phone, gathering data and finally writing the grievance in exactly the right way.
Anthem had failed to pay any of my spouse’s medical bills in 2024 due to errors in their own files and processes. Thankfully, her providers did not send us to collection for the debts or withhold care. It helped that we paid them 10% and kept them informed. 🎯🎉🍾
So what a surprise that the blood pressure monitor is defective. First clue: something maybe the size and weight of a marble is rattling around loose on the inside. It turns on, but the error message comes up immediately and you can’t set time or date. Batteries from China are Heavy Duty Bursto Batteries expired 12/24. I think I’ll learn how to make a complaint, ungrateful person that I am. I only got this because the one I bought myself is too twitchy. #Insurance #BCBS #Medicare
