@MetLife I have an outstanding dental claim since April 18th! I call customer support every other day and everybody tells me that they're working on it I'm tired of hearing that! I do not want another escalation I want someone to look at this claim today!

@MetLife is there a process in place for claim reimbursement issues for dental practices? Three phone calls and a certified letter have not yielded results. Our next step is to get @NYDFS and @TNCommerceInsur involved, which we really don’t want to get to…

@MetLife I can’t believe that my dentist has to appeal coverage of a tooth that has fractures and signs of decay. They are being told the tooth actually has to BREAK! Meantime I can’t chew on that side of my mouth. Spent hrs of phone calls & getting the runaround. $130/mo for???

@MetLife Just was wondering why it is taking 5 months for a dental claim to be processed. Very frustrating

Refusing payment for medical care and drugs has become a staple of health insurers’ business model, consumer advocates said. Less than 1% of claim denials are appealed and that’s money “left on the table that the insurers keep,” one said. propublica.org/article/how-of…

State and federal regulators have the power to compel health insurers to reveal how often they refuse to pay for treatments, tests and drugs. Why are most plans’ denial rates still a closely held secret? propublica.org/article/how-of…
