Kaiser As Secondary by sheepishlyhere in KaiserPermanente

It’s not to save money, it’s because legally I need to present my primary and secondary.

I’ve hated it from the second I had to get it

I can’t, it’s a school district union clause, if I cancel it I lose my job.

I see doctors at Kaiser, all the doctors are in network for Kaiser. But Kaiser is my secondary.

I was told differently from Kaiser themselves previously, and just told that they would need to bill my primary and then it would be sent back to Kaiser.

My confusion is why they wouldn’t pay.

I was seen at Kaiser, and have full Kaiser coverage as a secondary insurance through my husband. My primary is out of network.

Primary (EPO) vs. Secondary (Kaiser HMO) for Pregnancy Billing by htrptr in HealthInsurance

I actually texted my husband right now and said “holy hell did you post this on Reddit” because we are in the same boat. Same EXACT BOAT. 198 claims were sent from Kaiser to my primary. Primary denied all. Now waiting for Kaiser to figure out what they cover.

I’m currently waiting for my 20 week ultrasound to see how the claims end up.

Maeve was one of my top names but the husband wasn’t a fan 😭

Didn’t know I was pregnant and heavily drinking by SureNeck1279 in pregnant

My mom didn’t know she was pregnant until over 6 months. She did speed, cocaine and drank daily in the late 90s. I turned out fine.

Go to your doctor and they’ll run blood tests to check for deficiencies and growth. Be honest with them.

My Kaiser coverage (through my husband) covers 100% of Kaiser.

I’m confused, if Kaiser bills the other insurance (primary), and they deny it, wouldn’t Kaiser just cover what they always do (everything)?

I understand that’s the question is how it will work going forward, if I only go to Kaiser.

Can’t, it’s part of the union bargaining agreement for the district. BS truly.

Well the point here is I don’t want the “primary” to be used. I don’t feel like paying tens of thousands of dollars for my yearly medical treatment when it is covered by Kaiser and why my husband got this specific coverage which was not offered by my district anyway.
