I went to have my pump filled on Monday and and found out that I'm due for a replacement. I cant believe I've had a pump in me for over eight years now. I have to look into finding a different doctor though. I like the doctor I have now but he doesn't take Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance so there's always been a hassle with the insurance company when it comes time to pay the bill for a refill. The problem is I haven't been able to find a doctor that will take me on as a patient because I already have a pump implanted and they won't take over a patients care if they didn't implant the pump. So I'm hoping I can find a doctor that's willing to do the implant and take over my care that's inplan for BC/BS. I've been approved for the amount of visits for refills with BC/BS but they NEVER get the bill right. They always make some mistake on it that ends up with me owing the doctor about 30% of the bill. I don't know about other people here with pumps but it costs $1500.00 every refill and every refill we worry that this is the time the insurance is going to refuse to pay anymore. Anyone want to take bets that I still won't be able to find a doctor because they didn't do the whole implant?
