ok... thats just kinda freaky... Just started on a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO - Anthem

And we logged into the website for the first time.. On the site it allows you to link your medical claims up to WebMD, so anytime you get treated for something it shows you the standard symptoms and standard treatments... I guess to check up on your doctor? You can opt in or out, but I just thought it was a little odd, dunno why...

you're complaining about additional info being offered? I fail to see a problem

Probably so you don't call your doctor over and over asking questions.

Why is that odd?

Learn how to live. That means learning how to take care of yourself. If it prevents you from going to the emergency room because you have a cough, that's a good thing.

That's the holy grail of healthcare - having your entire record, from any doctor, from anywhere. viva la Internet.
