Hi, You've reached Amerigroup, please listen carefully as *BOOP*.
If you are a provider, press *BOOP*
If you *BOOP*
If *BOOP*
Please wait as we transfer you to a customer representative. (Cheerful soundtrack with woman talking. Have you heard about our Baby and Me program? Your call is important to us... blah blah blah)
This is Ingrid/Carmen/Dolores/etc. Can I get your member number?
Me: I don't have a member number. That's why I am calling.
Name? Address? (I have a new address, please enter the new address every time I call for 2 weeks and never hit save so I have to update it the next time I call)
Phone number? (ditto)
Oh, you've been terminated. In March.
me: That was a different pregnancy. I have a new account.
Oh, well, I don't see anything here. Let me look.
(here's where it varies) No, you aren't in here at all. Sorry./ Oh, here you are. Sure, you've been re-enrolled. It's all good. Card's in the mail./ No, you were terminated in March./ Oh, well, you will have to re-enroll. No, I can't do that here. You will have to call the other number and it's getting pretty late. Maybe tomorrow. / Huh. I don't see you in here. Terminated in March?/ Yeah, you will have to re-enroll and that probably takes like 4 or 5 weeks. Sorry. / Well, the system shows you were re-enrolled back on September 1st. You haven't gotten a card yet? Hmm. Yep. Here you are.
(finally today for the love of God)
I will send you another card. 7-14 days.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOP*

That's frustrating. Have you called and talked to a supervisor?

And were wondering what ever happened with the fence issue.

Today is Friday and I'm very tired. I'm getting off a couple hours early so we can go over to Shannon's parents. Shannon's aunt will be up from Oregon.

I’d even conference call with you to them and advocate for you. I have to do that a couple times a week for employees.

I also had an issue with Blue Cross a while back. I had already waited a month for something, and a clerical mistake was going to make me wait another month for it to be resolved. I got a manager, explained the issue, and kindly said, “this is not at all acceptable, I need this resolved much faster,” and just held to it. It was resolved in a couple days. Sometimes it works.

yeah, isn't that cool?
it's Museum District Day.
it's probably just of for publicity and to gather new customers, etc. (and they probably get some kind of weird write-off)
but i think it's way groovy.
i wish i could go
=)

why do you have data on your avatar?

Beth said...

jess,
did you ask the people about going to the doctor without a card?

It is retro-active for 60 days. Some places will go ahead and take you, especially when they know that you DID previously have that insurance.

Maybe if you call Dr.REED they might just go ahead and see YOU.

You could at least make the appt.

:0)

Dad GUMMIT!


7 days is not so long to wait..


So maybe Wilburo Gilbert Clark will finally have an "official" due date sometime this month..

It is kinda weird waiting so long to get a doctor verifying what you already know.

Did you know that I did not have any prenatal care with Robert and Richard until I was 6 months pregnant?

Chuckster was tended to from day one....or actually day 45....

Maybe that is why he is so much taller than Richard and Robert.
