first bad news of the year
Jan. 2nd, 2011 02:16 pmMy health insurance co and my hospital, including my PCP and all our providers, have failed at having a contract. Anthem insists that those patients are all close enough to one of 3 other hospitals in NH that they don't need to cover Exeter. The hospital has asked the state for a 60 day extension and been denied because the two parties are currently not negotiating and the state doesn't think that extra time will help. The next closest hospitals to me are out of state (in MA, not NH) and in no way provide the high quality of care as Exeter. Not to mention that both of those MA hospitals have changed ownership due to financial problems at least once if not twice each in the past 20 years. Changing providers is so not an option for us. Therefore, it's time to change insurance again. Suck. I have until March 2nd. Yes, I have sent a nastygram to Anthem.
