[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not understanding how hospitals, doc offices, etc., are sharing systems with insurance to see my private deductible information. [/quote]

They make you pre register before you go in for non emergency procedures. Most every doctor's office gets all the insurance info when you make an appt. [/quote]

Sure, I know they have the info. I have asked my docs if we have reached child deductible, DH deductible, whole family deductible as of which date during the year, because they have that info right in front of them and it's easier than calling the insurance. I'm just not understanding how they have all that info in the first place. Sure they should know copays having to do with each insurance, but for them to know I have a $1000 deductible and that I have used $678 as of June 1st or whatever, on a variety of different other doctors and hospital services.

They should really be sorting it with insurance and if insurance pays 0 because I haven't met my deductible, then they bill me. They don't need to know the why/wherefores, much less EXACTLY how much my insurance has paid to random other people so far...[/quote]
