Insurance denial of hospital stay

0 Recommendations

I just wanted to post that BCBS of GA finally overturned their denial of my last day in the hospital because of a clause in the contract. The clause states that if I used a preferred provider and hospital, they cannot hold me responsible if they disagree about medical neccesity! Finally, almost 9 months after my surgery, this appears to be resolved. I was in the hospital for less than 3 full days for a hysterectomy and a diagnosis of Stage 1c ovarian cancer.

Just thought I'd share this for anyone else who might be battling their insurance company. They denied my first claim and also my first appeal. Finally, after the second appeal they overturned it. Hooray!
