Monopoly. It's to the point that you could make an FTC #antitrust argument about #BCBS in the state. They've done a pretty good job preventing other insurers from even attempting to enter the market.

#bcbsmi #bcbs Your flex on how much of a health care dollar is reimbursed to Mich Med is pathetic. You are an ADMINISTRATOR. Why should over half of that dollar stay in house and NOT go to the provider giving care? You have cornered the market on insurance in Michigan. Drop UM & that will change.
not to mention the 3-4 weeks of time required to complete the 2 procedures. so *half the time off work* was just me “hanging out” waiting on #BCBS to approve of all of this which they will inevitably do once we play their denial & appeal game.
love missing now 2 weeks of work, but insurance says could be another 3 weeks of work, simply because insurance is denying my medical coverage on the one procedure that will return me to work. weeks of time wasted sitting in my house suffering in pain while #BCBS will inevitably approve this anyway.
I haven’t been following this, partly by choice because I am not seeing #patients this week, but this is a great thread. I agree with everything said here. And will add- because of how poorly #BCBS pays in #Michigan, we can’t keep young #doctors

A med being ‘covered’ and a med being ‘afforable’ are NOT the same. I’m done fighting with companies. It’s exhausting. My previous copay was under $30 a month… now it’s over $600, tier exceptions and coupons only get it down just under $200 a month. #BCBS #BigPharma #GLP1 #WeightLoss #NoOneCares
I wonder
What benefits did @goodrx.bsky.social get to front this absolute sham bait & switch?
@costplusdrugs.com has better deals
I have to pay #BCBS $1,700 deductible in cash + $3,600 copay for every prescription drug & doc visit & transportation on TRS disability
This doesn't help anything
#BCBS refused to give us my husband’s card number. They said to get it online. We can’t log in. They transfer us to tech help who says they can’t help us reset it without the card number. Card has yet to come in the mail. 1/3
Pres Trump, u said today The Dems are owned by the insurance co & it would be better if we forgo our plans & just pay for it ourselves. Here is the thing. Under Biden, I had Bioligics that saved my vision. Under ur admin, all Biologics were cancelled. #BCBS said that was bc u didn't negotiate.
#BCBS #ProfitMargins have been trending downward in recent years. While third-quarter 2023 saw a jump to 3.5% from 3.1% in 2022, third-quarter 2024 saw a dip to 2.1%.

Anyway, I still don't trust that CVS Specialty will get it processed, so we'll follow up with them shortly.
The whole reason this is a mess is that every communication from them has said, "No action is required from you," and BCBS said everything was fine in their letter.

After talking to the specialty pharmacy, we're now on hold for the doctor's office who was notified by the pharmacy that a new pre-auth was required WEEKS AGO.

Hey, everyone. If you take Stelara and have Blue Cross insurance, there's a good chance it's not covered in 2026. There's a "biosimilar" drug called Yesintek that they'll cover instead. HOWEVER, if your pre-auth is for Stelara, you can't just fill your RX at the specialty pharmacy as usual!

So even though I never signed up with HCIactive directly, my BCBS ACA plan quietly contracted with them behind the scenes—and now my personal data gets hacked in their July 2025 breach. Thanks for the transparency, health insurance world. #DataBreach #HCIactive #BCBS #PrivacyFail"

How much does it cost in another country that has Universal Healthcare — virtually everywhere but the USA. We have grossly inflated prices. Lets fucking fix that one first! End the lobbyists #BCBS #ANTHEM #HUMANA #AETNA (Below is a PARTIAL list)

Urgent care charged me $800 for a walking boot and crutches. And I have BCBS PPO. WEEEEEEEE! 🇺🇸

Hey #BCBS - that's *3* PCP doctors in my "preferred network", all that you list as accepting new patients, who are NOT. If you're going to force me to use a tiny sliver of providers to get my maximum benefit savings, the least you could do is have your damn information correct on your website.

Just got my health insurance renewal letter from #bcbs. I am a healthy woman with no serious pre-existing conditions. The '26 plan's going up to $2k a month. But at least Trump has his ballroom, Gatsby theme parties, and marble bathroom reno. Glad the country has its priorities straight.
Why in the ever-burning hell do insurance companies think that they can charge you MORE THAN YOU MAKE for health insurance?
