That's basically what they have done to me the past few years, it's brutal.
Ditto.
Had surgery 5 years ago. Called Humana ahead of time to approve everything. It was out of network so they said I would owe $8,000 out of pocket. Expensive but I was going to AZ for the surgery so expected.
Get my bill and they didn't cover what they said. My bill was $46,000.
I appealed and they admitted to quoting me the $8000 but said they determined they weren't going to cover what they promised. Even had the conversation with the rep recorded for viewing.
Luckily, Mayo Clinic was VERY understanding and after filling out the financial aid, they only charged me the $8000 that Humana quoted.
If I ever win Powerball, I'll be donating to Mayo Clinic for sure.
