Fighting us people with HA that is.
Read in our paper yesterday that the insurance company covering our county employees (of which I was one for 10 years back in the day) will NOT cover certain emergency room visits.
To be fair, OK, some of the stuff on that list made some sense, like ringworm and some other stuff.
But some of it was like WTF???? Chest pain from a cough? Really?
OK, OK, I get it, some utilize ER for nonsensical reasons. Especially those of us with HA (at least I know I have).
I no longer have the article and am working from memory off an article I scanned quickly, but I kept thinking to myself that since HA is a blooming new disorder, I bet a lot of needless ER visits ARE responsible for this.
Yet on the other hand, if one is suffering from long term diarrhea, one could dehydrate. Chest pains from a cough? How can you NOT visit the ER over that?
