@DerrickEvans4WV The Bananas are the best! They are coming to Knoxville this summer, and tickets are rewarded by lottery. We didnโt get them, and I was so disappointed.
Medical Doctor in New York sharing her experience with her personal health insurance coverage
She estimates sheโs pays about $5,000 per year for coverage and hasnโt used it in at least 3 years
So after paying $15k, she went to the doctor one time, was charged $300 out of pocket for a regular visit and then the insurance company denied her medication
โI had a singular office visit for one complaint. My insurance didn't cover the entirety of that visit. It cost me an additional $300 to include some lab work. But not only that, so now I'm out, we'll say $5,000 (for the year) plus $300 out of pocket. That wasn't covered for this office visit because I haven't used health insurance the rest of the year.
My insurance denied the medication that was prescribed to meโ
โSo I paid all that money to health insurance. I can't actually get what I need and I as a physician see these stories a million times a dayโ
โIt's just absolutely absurd that we are allowing the insurance companies and the healthcare system to function this way.โ
