I agree with Super that our health plans need a lot of improvement. Delta brags about the premiums going down over the last couple of years, but I am guessing the quality has been dropping with it.
Somewhere there is a document you can print out and give to the Doctor explaining how these plans have no co-pay.

This probably would take more work than crying about this to anyone who will listen, but maybe they should get off their behinds and put in some work if this is a cause they believe in.
I am not in the MEM base but based on what I have seen I wouldn't elect those guys dog catcher. They are whiners and bad leaders, in my humble opinion.
I can see how these BAD MEM reps need to be voted out (in your humble opinion, of course).

Anyways, after the hospital talked to UHC, I never paid a cent. The HRA dollars were put towards the deductible.

I finally received a card in the mail a few days ago after requesting one on-line. The whole process is frustrating.

If you search DeltaNet for "Healthcare Provider Letters", click on the first search result and read there, there are two different letters you can print out and take to your Doctor's office or the hospital.
They explain to the Doctor, office manager or billing manager how our plan works, and how they are supposed to submit claims.
Here's a highlight from the letter, "Do not ask the patient for a copay or deductible for preventive care, office visits, urgent care, emergency room visits or other services."

The processes are not working as advertised. I stand by that.
Your APC callsign is officially "Dark Cloud."
