[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 381233, member: 1233"] I got a LOT more of this on the private insurance. We had GOOD private insurance and they paid claims in less than 5 business days as long as all info was there. it was so fast at paying after my back surgery that they had to refund the insurance for quite a few things I was overcharged on. Like the private room I did NOT ask for or agree to. We are getting a bit less on medicaid (I have actually had vastly fewer problems on medicaid than on any private insurance. The kids were on it while husband was in grad school, then off medicaid when he got a job. Medicaid covered a LOT more and was taken at a LOT more places.) Heck, medicaid helped me find the long term psychiatric hospital Wiz was in and then paid 100% of everything while he was in there. Even the neuropsychologist testing I insisted on - and I could have gotten my mileage paid for every trip to the psychiatric hospital as long as I spoke to one of the nurses or staff people. I didn't file for mileage because they already did enough for us, but it was there. NO ONE at the private insurance would even give me a facility name. I had to find it online with the help of one of the tech specialists!! That is why I am asking, because it seems like private insurance is even taking away our options for choosing docs. What next???
