If, at any time, a claim has been rejected, my tendency has been to write a letter to the insurer, the doctor and my employer (who ultimately selected the insurer) saying essentially "Fix this." There have been precisely two occasions when I have had to repeat my request. On one of these two, the doctor's secretary pitched in (they wanted to get paid, after all, and I sure the hell wasn't going to be the one paying) and wrote a scathing letter to the insurer. On the other occasion, I showed up in the insurer's lobby and advised them that the problem was to be fixed immediately. They were very apologetic, because the issue had truly been a case of paperwork sliding between the cracks. Without a doubt, diligence is the key to not getting hosed by the medical establishment.
