How I deal with my commercial health insurance policy…

  • I know my coverage and benefit
  • I know my cost, deductibles, premiums, out of pocket max, everything!
  • I check online for my explanation of benefits (EOB)
  • I check my EOB with my providers summary of monthly charges
  • I call at least once a month to have claims reprocessed, explained, or justified
  • I ask for a supervisor often
  • I make copies of everything
  • I fax (old school but cheap and you have a receipt of delivery)
  • I cuss at them over the phone, just because it makes me feel better
  • I ask for support services, treatment plan nurse or employee support programs
