LA Care - LA Care refusing to pay ER visit
During december this year, I had to go to the ER for a kidney infection while visiting family in Wisconsin.
I'm in California and have had LA Care since I turned 26 and was kicked off my mother's insurance (Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Missisippi) I'm 28 now.
LA Care is now saying that they were never my primary insurance, and that BCBS is my primary, so the responsibility of the bill falls onto them and me.
I had a surgery 2 years ago that was covered by LA Care.
I have contacted BCBS to ensure that my insurance is not still active with them, and it isn't. I three-wayd a phone call with representatives from both LA Care and BCBS to make sure the issue resolved.
Ive been calling LA Care since early this year to have them remove BCBS as my primary since I no longer have it, but as of yesterday, they still haven't removed it, and are still listed as my secondary insurance.
The hospital in Wisconsin and billing me over 6k. I can't afford that, and was under the impression I'd not be billed since a kidney infection is classified as an emergency under LA Care's policy.
I don't know what to do. I'd appreciate any insight on this situation, LA Care is being incredibly unhelpful, and refuses to even let me submit an appeal.
LA Care also covered a surgery I had 2 years ago. I was never aware they weren't my primary insurance.
