Mind if I provide another Evil Insurane Company Example? hey, i gotta vent!

Just got a denial on Wellpoint(Empire BCBS) on a in-office glucose monitoring (finger stick). The note says "Empire only provides benefits for this service when billed by the laboratory vendor. The member cannot be balance billed."

WTF?? They dont want you to bill for a "non-covered service". As if someone with out of control blood sugar has time to go to a Quest Service Center, or wait for labs to come back???

grrrrrrr. GRRRRRRRR! Hulk SMASH!
