[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 586618, member: 4932"] Not with the providers. Here in Louisville, Norton Healthcare decided to take their ball and go home when Anthem wouldn't cave into demands for more money. Left thousands of people in the lurch. UPS pays the claims, but we use the networks of the insurers we contract with. Here in Kentucky, we switched from Anthem to United Healthcare. Suddenly, one of my doctors is 'out of network' and so is his laboratory that does the blood workups. Which is an example of the insanity of the health care 'system': I need to see my PCP at least twice a year so that he can monitor the effects of the medication I am taking. My rheumatologist must also take blood at least once every 90 days because of the stuff I am taking for arthritis. Do you think I could get the two of them to coordinate? NO. The PCP office kept failing to send my results to the other doc, so I had to keep going to him for blood work. And pay out of network costs. Not to mention having two extra blood draws.
