There were some hindrances, yet during his time on COBRA his cases had dependably been paid.
Until he got a call from his specialist's charging office on Jan. 6. The specialist's office said bills for a progression of late tests had been denied by his insurance agency.
Shaw said he promptly called Blue Cross and was given stunning news. His approach had been crossed out, the distance back to Nov. 1.
While some November and December claims had been paid, numerous others had not. Without protection, the unpaid hospital expenses totaled $13,893.
Vexed, Shaw reached the U.S. Division of Labor and his lawyer. His lawyer proposed he send an email to What's Your Problem?
"I don't realize what to let you know," Shaw told the Problem Solver toward the beginning of January. "You work your (butt) off, you do what you believe is correct. I paid what I should pay when I should pay it. I took those tests supposing they were secured."
Shaw, 42, said only one of the medications he takes costs more than $2,500 a month.
In the event that he needed to pay the $13,893 or his month to month drug costs all alone, he would likely wind up in insolvency, he said.
"We don't have it," Shaw said. "We'd be wiped out. … I've been out of work for the majority of a year."
The Problem Solver called Blue Cross. Days after the fact, and obviously disconnected to the Problem Solver's call, Shaw's scope was reestablished, including all cases going back to Nov. 1.
Blue Cross representative Mary Ann Schultz said she couldn't remark on Shaw's case because of privacy concerns, other than to say "the record is presently present, and the sum total of what cases have been straightened out."
