Always about the money

The 1st injection I was told would be covered 100%, no co pay. I get the injection done and when they called to pre register me for 2nd I am told that I owe $500. Excuse me for what I ask. She said my insurance paid all but the $500. If it was covered 100% what is this about a co-pay. So I can not get my 2nd shot till Ipay at leat 75% of the 1st one and 1/2 of the 2nd. If I had money I would have gotten this taken care of months ago. Now what? The doctor who put me flexerill will not refill it so I am in constant pain. Insurance is a racket. And this pain management doctor told me it was not about the money and they would work with me. LOL.

" it is always about the money, dr dont care today at all, you may find a few but thats if you are an older established patient with them when they first started. my suggestion to you is to go to the er room cry and explain your pain, most hosp. have to accept people of all walks of life, they even take non-citzens who never pay and it ends up coming out of our pockets. that is why i want to start a group abot chronic pain sufferers and how we are ytrated by dr. and yes even so called loved ones. i have already written to the dr. oz, show and pres. obama, think i have heard back guess again. you have a right, it is called the patients bill of rights, to be treated. look it up google it, know the lingo talk their talk, no human being have the right to be refused treatment, they would not treat a door or animal the way some treat us. you can look up my profile, but i impore you get help asap, you do not want to happen to you what happened to me. kindest regards.

" Doctors and Lawyers are in the same boat. As long as you have the money, they can help you. As soon as they get all your money, then you're going to die or go to prison. (example OJ)

Insurance companies are the same, as long as you are healthy, they're happy to take your money. As soon as you get injured, they are looking for ways to drop you so they wont have to pay back the money you have spent on their policies.

It's ashamed how these people can get away with putting a dollar amount on us as humans. "
