sexy topic for a thread, I know.
short version:
wife reads about deaths in triathlon/marathon, wants me to get heart checked.
I read ST articles about OWS/heart incidents--& though I've never had a panic attack or any incidents--I agree.
Go for initial scan. Dr detects "non-specific, very general" abnormality. It's been months, I don't remember the details. He prescribes echocardiogram & stress test.
I get echocardiogram at hospital. Keep postponing stress test.
Hospital bill for $2,846 arrives, along with explanation from Anthem's Dr explaining that since I had no pre-existing dangerous symptoms or conditions, Anthem BC will not cover the cost of the treatment.
Right now the ball is in my cardiologist's court for follow-up with Anthem BC.
Have any of you had success with a particular type of claim or symptom/condition in this instance that passed muster with your insurance company? thanks.
