Coventry MSA help...

[retread]

That's what I would have thought. But they are balance billing even though they take assignment, sending the bills to the IFP claims dept., and saying they're not in network.

Total pain in the ass. I'm trying to work through a bunch of unpaid bills for a client from 2007! Several providers have either threatened or have gone to collection.

As I said, the concept is great. An HSA for Medicare. But it hasn't worked in practice. If it did work, the Wellpoint companies would certainly have continued the plans.

Perhaps what you say may be true for Anthem, but I doubt it would apply to other carriers, especially Coventry.

Coventry, at least in the midwest, has a good reputation for claim settlement.

There is an Anthem BCBS franchise in eastern MO, and I understand it has similar poor performance on claims... they must recruit their bean-counters from the same source.

I finally got the kits for the counties I needed the most. Having looked at the Sum of Benfts I am pumped. I had figured the client would pay full cost of say ...a Dr. visit. NO... they pay $0. I had pictured using the first $1250 up in no time at all.

Actually $0 after you pay the Part B deductible I believe. I need to look at the Summary again. Need more sleep.
