[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Childrens is the WORST. Ugh. Have had so many issues with them. Especially with their medical coding/billing. Several time s I have been assured by both Childrens and our insurance that a doctor is 'in network' but the Childrens bills the visit with a code that 
 the insurance doesn't cover and then its just back and forth. . . .  It was ridiculous. Ugh. I hate Childrens![/quote]

Same experience here.  The Drs. themselves are great - our daughter's surgery was trouble-free.

But they coded the procedure FOR AN ADULT - and BCBC refused to pay as a result.  Um, hello!  Its "CHILDREN'S" hospital!!?  WTF do they have coders so incompetent??  Plus, it took so long to resolve that is went to collections.

Flash forward to spouse's cancer treatment; not Childrens precisely but same complex and same types of problems:

-the cancer treatment success was partly dependent on an iodine-free diet (they botched that completely)

-had to shower every 30 minutes; they botched that too and the room had NO hot, or even warm water in the shower!

While the M.D.s seem OK there, the entire support system - from nurses to coders to administrative staff - seem completely incompetent.  [/quote]
