Healthcare, insurance, and doctors


Sooner or later, when dealing with cancer treatment, not only are you battling cancer, you will probably need to battle your insurance company or doctors over health coverage. Unfortunately, it's usually sooner. Fortunately for me, I've had great support from my doctors and my insurance company.

Insurance company paid the radiologist the contracted rate. The doctor is now billing me for the difference. Is that legal? What can I do? What is wrong with health care in the US. And all this with excellent health care coverage.
