Health insurance company I worked for would automatically reject claims over a certain amount without reviewing them. Just to be dicks and make people have to resubmit. This was over 25 years ago, but it’s my understanding many health insurers still pull this shit. They don’t care if it’s legal or not. Enforcement is lazy and fines are cheaper than medical claims.

Obviously this is in the USA.

We need a whole branch of government dedicated to fucking with insurance companies. They basically generate free money by having money, they don’t actually provide any net positive outside of just having money

We need to move to single payer healthcare and just eliminate the need for insurance companies.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=-wpHszfnJns

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That’s pretty much the only BDG video I couldn’t finish. Too dark. Everything else has been delightful

Did you consider becoming a whistleblower?

Definitely sounds like Cigna. Several doctor practices have told me that Cigna rejects alot of insurance claims when other agencies don’t give them as many difficulties.
