what does that even mean?
- rdl 12y agoOut of the 2k doctors in SF (?), only 200 or so seem to take Cigna (my current insurer); 1500 would take Blue Cross/Blue Shield (previous). If your doctor doesn't take your insurance, it's considered "out of network", and you end up paying ~50% of the cost, vs. 0-10%.
- rasz_pl 12y agoThis is sad. I was under the impression whole reform was supposed to turn healthcare from business into utility.
- rdl 12y agoI have no problem with a subset of doctors choosing to price themselves above the point where I should be forced to pay for someone else's use of them -- differentiating on ease of scheduling, etc. I'm just annoyed when this is a majority. A lot of the "ACA individual plans" are even WORSE than my company-provided plan for coverage.
