I spoke with more than 50 insurance experts, patients, lawyers, physicians and consumer advocates about building a tool anyone could use to navigate insurance appeals. Nearly everyone said the same thing: Great idea. But almost impossible to do.
I mind, because each and every doctor I’ve seen regarding my chronic pain I’ve been dealing with for over 5 years has refused to diagnose me, and every appointment I’ve been recommended anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication, which are not solutions.
From my perspective, most doctors don’t seem to do shit, they just listen and try to sell the trendiest, most profitable drug for Big Pharma. If I could find an actual, legitimate doctor, maybe my opinion would change, but I’ve been left to suffer by the only people that are supposed to be able to help. It’s gotten bad enough to where I went to an emergency room, and they still did nothing, except try to prescribe more drugs.
I see it as a huge scam. A major scheme. It doesn’t seem to just be insurance companies, but even the doctors themselves seem to be full of shit.
While not always true, keep in mind as Doctor will likely lean towards things your insurance will actually pay for.
I’ve been recommended allergy medications and prescribed allergy medications for years. Anything beyond that I’m pretty sure the insurance won’t pay for. I’m pretty sure I paid out of pocket just to get a damn Allergy test.
It could still be the Doctor, don’t get me wrong. But don’t count out the insurance.
