Well, for about 7 years now BC & BS has sent out a form once a year to their clients asking if people in the household are covered with any other medical benefits, it's called "Coordination of benefits."

Out of those seven years they failed to mail me mine, twice.

Now, because they can, they have denied every claim submitted in the last 2 months because I failed to respond to their letter with my yearly "no."

I've gotten 15 letters in the mail in the last two weeks from doctors, hospitals, labs, etc. demanding payments.

I wonder how many people, who are say "old or sick," start paying these bills and then never get compensated for the double payment?

Nowhere does it say that they are allowed to deny payment because you didn't respond to a questionnaire. Like I said, these people do this because we let them.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned

You're right, but with every reminder I get daily now in the mail, my ire grows.
