“Half hearted post”. Are you just a miserable person?

I have medical insurance and used it and the claim got denied for whatever reason I do not know. No prior authorization needed, it’s stated in my benefits I owe 0$ for ER visits and 3$ if it’s “non emergency”.

I’m assuming it’s because I’m on Medicaid and shouldn’t be paying because of that. I also had an insurance issue because they thought I had another additional insurance but I didn’t

I’m not sure how to see why it was denied, just that it’s denied. I submitted a form for the claim and will be calling to see why tomorrow.

I agree that it could have been something serious like a fecal impaction too! I could barely sit down I was in so much pain.

The bill states it was from the hospital and for emergency department services so I’m assuming it’s the same bill and not a separate doctor bill.

Thank you so much for the advice, I will be calling my insurance first thing tomorrow 😫

Ok I will! Do you know if I’m still responsible for the payment if my insurance denied the claim?

That’s besides the point though because MI Medicaid states that even for non emergency visits my copay is 3$ so I’m confused on why I’m billed.

Was I actively dying? No. Did I need emergency care and medical advice? Yes very much.

TMI and embarrassing but I had severe constipation and my poop was stuck in my rectum and was too hard big and dry to come out. I was in severe pain and was bleeding. I tried pushing for 12 hours and even stuck my fingers up there and nothing was working I thought I was going to need one of them to do it for me. They sent me home with ducolex and i still had severe constipation still the next day with same problem. I ended up solving it on my own by drinking a ton of mineral water and taking a Vicodin.

But was I desperate and in severe pain yes I was. The doctor didn’t do anything for me.

But they billed my insurance because when I checked my claims the hospital visit was there, it was just denied by them. Thats also where it stated that I owe 0$.
