There is Nothing Humana About Humana

Last year our hospital changed its insurance to Humana. We have had nothing but problems ever since. They changed the rates when we renewed in September. Now if you want to see your long time personal physician s/he better be affiliated with the hospital or you are paying over $2,500.00 in extra fees for the privilege. For those of us peons that is a hell of a lot of extra money. Of course that doesn’t count all the regular fees and co-pays and deductibles. These are extra fees tacked on.

We were promised that our benefits would be the same in spite of the fact that we are paying more for Humana. We were promised there would be no problems in getting our bills paid. What a joke. Over half the hospital is now facing having our bills classified as “pre-existing”! I got really ill and was close to blacking out a few weeks ago. The hospital considered this an emergency. Humana is investigating “pre-existing”.

Everyone was promised that we would be covered like we were under our old plan which means pre-existing does not apply. Humana is trying to weasel out of a lot of payments while continuing to charge us higher rates. There is nothing human about Humana. The sooner we have health care reform and a strong public option the better. Put me down as wanting the government run insurance.
