I asked (nicely) for out of pocket expenses for 8 months' Lyme disease IV antibiotics.
They used several 'dirty tricks' but I kept coming back.

AND THEY PAID!!! Sev thousand$!!

Perhaps it was out of the goodness of their hearts. Perhaps it was my threat of suit. Doubtless pressure applied by my senator's office (since 2/04) made a difference.

But all of a sudden the HMO admitted its undue delay (they sat on my claim for over a year AFTER I cleared a years' worth of their "hurdles") and the check WAS in the mail!!

Local paralegal calls this "miracle".

Thanks, everyone, especially those who prayed.

Way to go!!

I, too, just received a bill that was in the $1,000's and now is only in the hundreds.

I'm impressed. I can't believe they finally paid you. That's unheard of.

Good going Neil.

Congratulations to you on your victory!

I've found with insurance companies the squeaky wheel gets the oil. The more you hound, threaten, or whatever it takes to get your money the better your chance is of winning.
