    It occurred to me this morning that the insurance company requesting my entire medical history for the past five years is the one that carried the company's health plan for three of the five years concerned. That is to say, they have the records I need to reconstruct this history in large! I have a path forward, I think, and have thoughts on how to obtain that information through my company, not the round-about the insurance company would likely put me through.

    After 2008, my medical expenses were follow ups mostly. I'm ready to kick insurance company @$$! Also, the social services lady associated with the care center where my mother is reminded m that I have access to her services, too, and she brought up the possibility of reporting Blue Cross Blue Shield to the Nebraska State Insurance Commissioner (who has responsibility for eregulating insuerance companies and their business practices in my state) if they #&^@ me around on my insurance.

    Don't make Doug mad. You will not like Doug mad!

    I'm with you, Doug. The insurance companies don't play fair. They have all the power, and you have to scramble around collecting bits of paper.

    Are they just trying to establish that you had continuing insurance coverage all that time? If that's the case, each insurance company involved can supply a letter stating the dates you were covered.

    At any rate, I'd be on the phone to the Insurance Commissioner, too. Go get 'em.

    As you can see, Phil, my cat has super powers, so I won't need your cape, yet! When it comes time to kick @$$, however, you did note you have some practice that way. I might give you a call or flash your signal on a cloud using my backyard surplus searchlight.

    I need to call the insurance person who sent me the packet of questions, etc. and will ask her about the purpose, Sangye. The questions relate to medical tests and results for conditions one had treated, emergency room visits, that kind of thing. It's daunting, and obstructionist. The irony is that virtually none of the medical emergencies or follow ups in that period relate to my "pre-condition", the main reason I have to apply for Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan crap insurance in the first place: WG!
