If you can’t read the above, it says:

American Insurance

(55M) Had a heart attack, died, revived and my cardiologist wouldn’t let me leave the hospital without a LifeVest (portable defibulator). It automatically triggers in case of another cardiac incident.

I spent two extra days in the hospital because insurance didn’t want to approve the LifeVest. That cost the insurance another $20,000ish. They finally relented and let me have a LifeVest. Now, they say they don’t have to pay for the LifeVest.

Everyone, the American insurance system (read scam) in a single sentence!!!

“Your plan doesn’t provide coverage for services that are considered investigational or not medically necessary. The fact that a provider may prescribe, order, recommend or approve a service, treatment, medication, or supply does not make it Medically Necessary or a Covered Service, and does not guarantee payment. These terms are defined in the ‘Definition’ section of your health plan document.”

40.As is this.

If you can’t read the above, it says:

Diagnosis: I26.99 Oth Pulmonary Embolism W/O Acute Cor PulmonaleDate(s) determined not to be medically necessary: 11/29/2024 – 11/30/2024

The clinical reason for our determination is:You were admitted to the hospital on 11/29/2024. The reason is blood clot to lung. We read the medical records given to us. We read the guidelines for a hospital stay. This stay does not meet the guidelines. You did not have to be admitted as an inpatient in the hospital for this care. The reason is you were watched closely in the hospital. You were stable. You had tests that did not show any problems that needed inpatient only treatment. The records showed your blood pressure was not too low. You did not need a breathing machine. You could have gotten the care you needed without being admitted inpatient at the hospital. The hospital inpatient admission is not covered. We let the hospital know that it is not covered.

41.If insurance isn’t going to approve life-saving medicine, what’s even the point of having insurance?

42.How was this $528??? (After insurance, too!)

43.Tylenol should not cost $15/capsule.

45.This is just completely unhinged.

46.Meds should not be this expensive.

47.Yes, good insurance can be great, but tell me why it’s almost $40k to begin with???

48.US healthcare is a scam.

49.This is so predatory.

50.How are you supposed to afford these rates at $9/hour? Never mind the deductibles and copays?

51.And finally, this is just genuinely bonkers. The entire system needs to change.
