[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4975656, member: 79761"] Part of my recent bout with heat exhaustion included a few appointments that I was told workman's comp wouldn't cover. The doctor said if that was the case and I used my personal insurance, they would have to lie when she submitted the bill by saying it was not a work-related injury/illness. Just to smooth the process, I paid out-of-pocket. A few days ago I was speaking with a steward and he asked me why I was doing that, why I didn't use [different insurance company.] I was straight up confused because I didn't know what he was talking about, so I pulled out my cards to show him my Teamcare insurance cards and he had this EUREKA! moment where he realized I had never switched over to the FT insurance provider when I became a driver. There's a lot nobody tells you when you make the switch. I get that it's on me to figure this stuff out, but this kind of thing would've never even struck me as a possibility. [/QUOTE]
