That doesn't seem right at all!! Hope @April_Showers: helps you out with her savings card because that's just ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194134 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:55:05 +0000 rachiecakes 194134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: totally ridiculous.. for the first few things I didn't realize what they were and thought it was all the same, so I just paid my insurance company. then I paid a 'balance' I had at my OB's office because they told me I had a balance when I arrived one day, only to find from my insurance that it was something that I covered and I shouldn't have paid it. so confusing, I hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194109 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:47:35 +0000 MrsBrewer 194109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: That is soooo annoying! I had that happen too though when I had an x-ray! One from the hospital, one for the radiologist who read the x-ray, and then a bill from my main Dr to "give me the results".....scams... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194107 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:47:32 +0000 matador84 194107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine sucks too, but my employer just switched over to BCBS. I had a 3K $ deductible. I had SCH when I first found out I was PG and had to pay all that out of pocket, while paying for doctors visits to "bank" our 1500/deposit for L&amp;D at the same time...which isn't going to this year's deductible since it starts over July 1! Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194098 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:45:10 +0000 April_Showers 194098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I wrote the info on your wall! Hope it helps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194088 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:40:29 +0000 rachiecakes 194088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh! and YES I feel your pain..<br /> my insurance changed when I was halfway through my pregnancy and up until then I had a plan that was expensive but everything was covered. with this new plan I get bills from anyone and everyone! for example - when I would get an ultrasound, I would get a bill from the hospital, then from my insurance and then from the ultrasound technician and yes, had to pay each one! so crazy... I hate how insurance companies operate :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194076 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:36:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 194076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I wish it was only $100! Be thankful!<br /> @MamaMoose: Free insurance?! That's awesome!!<br /> @April_Showers: I'm going to PM you right now! :-)</p> <p>Maybe it's just time that I tell DH to screw BC? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194068 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:32:46 +0000 April_Showers 194068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for a while. I was on Loestrin too, and it was amazing! I wasn't paying what you were though. Then I found out how to get the savings card and it cut my payments down to $35. </p> <p>PM me if you want the info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194065 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:32:11 +0000 MamaMoose 194065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UH that sucks! We also have crappy coverage for name brand prescriptions.... but the insurance itself is free to us so I can't complain about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194064 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:32:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 194064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh-- that is really brutal. I thought my $100 copay for 3 month supply was bad. Do you have a flex spending account? That can help off set the costs at least, although it's still quite a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-insurance-sucks#post-194047 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:25:21 +0000 MrsBrewer 194047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just switched jobs like 2 months ago, and I was told the benefits were to die for! I was so excited because before I was on a high deductible health plan and all that. Well the dr visit coverage isn't all that bad ($30 co-pay) but my prescription portion is HORRIBLE.</p> <p>It tooks me 5+ years to find a birth control pill that worked for me, I have REALLY heavy periods, terrible PMS, bad cramps (to the point of vomiting because of pain) and I found a birth control (Loestrin 24 FE) that works amazing with me. Well there aren't any comparable generics available, and I just found out today that my insurance covers 0% because it is in the 3rd tier in our plan, which means the most expensive. So Now I will have to pay right around $120/month to be on it besides paying $300/month for my health insurance coverage. This just seems so unfair :-( It's not my fault they don't offer generics.</p> <p>Has anyone else had this problem with their health insurance? </p>
