[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Carefirst post sounds pretty harsh. Really hope they work it out.[/quote]

Harsh? It sounds rather calm and measured. I hope they take Hopkins down. I don’t particularly care whether it’s through private insurance companies or a move to a single-payer system, but someone needs to get health care costs under control.[/quote]

I would rather see CareFirst go down than Hopkins. CareFirst adds zero value in health care.[/quote]

Absolutely. The amount of effort they make physicians go through for prior auths, medication costs, procedure codes, etc is a lot. I have found my physicians are generally willing to help me make cost conscious decisions too but insurance never has. [/quote]

X1000, Carefirst could care less about its “members.”[/quote]

Yep. The number of times I’ve called to get estimates on lab work, imaging, minor procedures and not gotten a straightforward answer is baffling when this is supposed to be their job. Lab tech was able to give me an estimate right away and said insurance never knows what they’re doing. [/quote]
