[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article references things like pink eye. Do people really go to the ER for pink eye? I think the heart attack/panic attack would be covered as it could be something ER-worthy.[/quote] I had bacterial pink eye, it came on while I was asleep and when I woke up the goop was so bad that I’d wipe my eyes and 3 minutes later I’d need to do it again because I couldn’t see. I walked to CVS, got in line for minute clinic. When the NP saw me she said “nope that’s outside what I can do. Go to urgent care or the ER.” In my case, I had Uber on my phone, and at that point could see for a minute or two at a time so I could order one and went to Urgent care, but in other circumstances, I would have needed to go to what’s in walking distance. So, yeah pink eye can be bad. I have a friend with similar insurance whose kid woke up screaming that his chest hurt. Eventually diagnosed as heartburn and the claim was denied.[/quote]
