Same billing codes. One month ago.

If you thought $.45 on the dollar was bad… well, now it’s $.20. I posted this just in case you thought “oh, maybe Cigna had a good reason to not cover your service.”

And why does Cigna not pay us? Oh, I’m sure it’s somehow “our fault.” I’m sure I could spend two hours fighting on the phone, fax, and snowmail to learn nothing about why we’re not getting paid.

Hey, did you see? They have a website! All I need to do is fax their registration form, and they’ll send a “team of healthcare representatives,” to “install” their website on my computers, and then I can learn why their not paying me in Internet Explorer 6 via a Java plugin which doesn’t work on their usually broken website exactly as slowly as receiving Cigna’s snowmail! Aren’t computers great?

I guess we didn’t study hard enough to make the Cigna grade this time. I guess we’ll just have to Try Harder. Will I be able to bare the shame of not meeting my obligations as a loved and trusted member of the Cigna family? No. Also, it’s almost certainly a violation of “contracts” and “HIPPA” (misspelled, of course) to post this sentiment and these bills on a public website.
