That is what I remember. May have been one or the other, but I think the claim was "out of network" providers.

I've heard out of network refusal to cover life flight in other cases too (generally like very rural snake bite cases).

That's messed up. The whole system between hospitals and insurance is messed up but that's really messed up. The cheapest possible care at the highest possible premium.

When I retire from the VA I'm going to work for a PBM in the Prior Approval department reviewing PA requests. I'll have to sell my soul, but it's straight cash homie, cream get the dolla bill, yo.
