Hooty Hoot
Gone but not forgotten
I lost my insurance coverage at the end of August when my wife retired. We went online and purchased a Blue Cross policy. It was not cheap and we did quite a bit of research prior to signing up. Today, I had a Doctors appointment and this gave me my first opportunity to use our new insurance. I was told that Piedmont affiliated facilities do not accept marketplace insurance. NONE OF THEM AND NONE OF THE PLANS. As I stood there with my heart racing and anger building, I knew that my temper was about to go. I cooled down though and paid cash for my appointment with a specialist. All that I really got was refills for all my prescriptions and no actual doctoring.
When I went to the pharmacy to fill my prescriptions, Blue Cross refused to honor the prescriptions as the practice and doctor were not honoring their plan.
I have never been that shook up and mad when something bad did not happen. There was just no one there that I could smack or choke that deserved it. I'm to old for that anyway.
I've got a lot worse things to say about the whole episode but I can't say them here. I have purchased something that is completely worthless and in my mind that is no different than stealing.
