It may be legal but it's not ethical. Why and how did we come to sign on to that kind of obscenity? Yeh, I know it happens- but IT SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL.

In addition to Medicare I had a secondary insurance policy. At a certain point I had an annual checkup done and some medical tests followed by minor surgery. When it all shook out, Medicare paid for about 80% of the cost (standard) and I discovered that the supplemental insurance had contributed $8.00 (EIGHT DOLLARS) as its share while denying $858 it was requested to pay. I was paying $86.00 per month for three years for that $8.00. Needless to say, I no longer carry that policy.

Bobert, if you appeal, what is the probable outcome? Keep in mind that the two offices (policy and outcome)- are not the same people.

It makes me so angry- you want us to inundate the company with mail? Is there something we can do?
