American Physician Assistant who has worked in cardiology for 8 years says “I have NEVER seen so many echos denied like I have this year” She says health insurance companies are denying routine scans at rates like never before and making it harder to appeal. Just this one phone call she spent 41 minutes of her lunch trying to get approved through the prior authorization department This video shows how many runarounds and multiple numbers and transfers the insurance companies make doctors offices go through, making it literally impossible to get things approved Health insurance companies just keep getting worse and worse

American took her daughter to urgent care, before going she saw their cash price was $150 At urgent care they took her insurance information and quoted her more, so she asked for the cash price. They denied the cash price because she has insurance and forced her to pay the higher price She says she “pays an arm and a leg” for her insurance every month, and it’s more expensive to use . They don’t even give you the option of the cash price if you have insurance, you just have to pay the higher price This is a scam, Congress MUST do something about this. How many people need to speak up before our representatives actually do something

American is paying $2,100 per month for health insurance, her daughter almost drowns and has to use Life Flight - The bill is $70,000 - Insurance first denies paying - After the denial, Life Flight reaches out to the insurance company - The insurance company agrees to pay $10,000 - Her new bill is now $60,000 Life Flight tells her on the phone, “I just want you to know that if you were self pay we would only be charging you $20,000 right now” It cost her $40,000 dollars MORE because she had insurance This is a scam

“I need someone to explain to me like I am 5 years old how it makes sense that a literal doctor… prescribed my son a life saving medication that he needs for a diagnosis that he has received, and my insurance gets to say, ‘No he does not’.” Why is this even allowed???? 🤔
