Memorial Herman v. Blue Cross BS

What the actual *bleep is going on? Apparently they’re in a nasty contract negotiation. I remained fairly ignorant until I began getting a mess of letters this week from blue cross to each of my family members saying “good news, we’ve found you a new PCP. Your old ones won’t take your insurance as of 4/1”. And they’re requiring new referrals for the specialists we see. We’re just caught in the middle…

Yeah, it sucks. I’ve got caught up in the same nonsense.

Still hoping for an agreement sooner rather than later.

They always come to an agreement
It may take awhile
As long as you don’t have immediate health issues or ongoing treatments you can wait it out

When Blue Cross went to war with Kelsey-Seybold several years ago, they did not come to an agreement. K-S started offering their own “insurance” instead.

The cutoff was march 30th. Dont expect things to change. Theyve had all year. More greed

Single Payer.

Sorry to hear that. If you or your family are dealing with a
serious medical condition, this is the last thing you should have
to worry about.

A broken for profit system.
