Mail Call

Remember that MRI scheduled for this evening? Today's snail brings News! from Anthem Blue Cross. After due consideration, they agree that an MRI is reasonable in the case and will allow the appointment to stand.

WTF? Anthem gets to decide if my knee hurts bad enough for me to Do Something About It?

Ghod, we need a health care system in this country. Please.

Medicare

And don't trust medicare to help you out. Last year I paid $18,000 of non covered expenses even though I had a doctor's prescription for it. Medicare decided I didn't really need it. I got a little bit of it back at tax time $4,000.

It's wonderfully strange when one section of government says NO (Medicare) and another section (Tax bureau) says we'll pay part of it.

Thank God I have secondary insurance as a Vet.
