insurance should be allowed to deny treatment


It's not denying treatment, only coverage. A patient always has the option to receive and pay for treatment that insurance doesnt cover.

Do hospitals give the exact price for treatment?

Have you ever tried to get an absolute price on something at a medical facility.

For many it is the only way to get treatment. Not everyone can pay.

Insurance should cover whatever a physician or allied health professional recommends. Period. They should have no right to deny. But it’s not medical insurance anymore, it’s managed care.

Are you a ‘medical director’ for BCBS? I’ve heard that boilerplate response hundreds of times.

If my doc orders a test or procedure that he/she feels is warranted, and I pay my premiums, the insurance company should STFU and pay.

Dependency comes at a price. It's not "free". It's their money, and they get to decide how it gets spent. Why is anyone surprised?
