Private Health Insurance Is Evil!

Patient literally died of pulmonary hypertension… we got him back… started a life saving medication … and now that he’s improved to the point of going home, the insurance company has denied the medication because he hasn’t tried and failed an unrelated medication first.

A more extreme version of the same thing I dealt with when Healthfirst literally made me endure ten years of ineffective treatments for plantar fasciitis before they allowed an MRI on one third of one foot that indicated it was really tendinosis.
