[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 188316, member: 8657"] Welcome to the club, old buddy... My husband has a slight hearing loss and wanted hearing aids just for use at home; to hear conversations better, for when we go to a play, a movie, etc. and Aetna couldn't figure out if they would help pay for them or not. So we bit the bullet and purchased a pair on our own. (Not cheap.)[I][B]Thirteen months later[/B][/I] the hearing loss center received a payment from Aetna in our behalf. I call that prompt. Tooner, your situation is disgraceful. [COLOR=darkorange][I]Something else to watch out for, boys and girls; at least among UPSers here. And this could be coming to a theatre near you.[/I] [/COLOR] [COLOR=darkorange][/COLOR] Aetna pulls the plug on UPSer's and their families when the UPS employee is on vaca or dis/work comp for a couple of weeks or more. And all ya gotta do is beg, plead and threaten to get back on again. Would you believe that some folks accept this, don't fight back and pay a fortune for health premiums elsewhere? Unbelievable. My husband was out for a while due to a nasty bout with a stubborn appendix and during this time I went to get a prescription filled for him. He was a 27 yr employee at the time and Aetna had removed our entire family from the pharmacy computer. I approached H.R. at work the next day and right before my eyes they experienced a sudden attack of deafness, blindness and dumbness. I also made an appointment with the Wizard of Oz (district manager), who got a confession from H.R. that this is the new, improved Aetna. One more thing, just be glad you teamsters don't have the clerical and management version of Aetna. You'd be jumping off a cliff about now.:mad: [/QUOTE]
