OH MY GOD, so get this
BCBS was waiting on some updated/corrected info from provider. Provider finally gets back to them, insurance updates info, then ACCIDENTALLY denies my claim saying it was OON, total error on their behalf, so provider bills me AGAIN.

Anthem BC/BS came back, 10 months later, and decided that it was going to deny me and my son's rabies treatments, after already approving the claim last December.
Denying a claim where if treatment were not given, results in death 100% of the time!

There are lots of reasons why ibuprofen shouldn't be used or isn't going to cut it for pain but it's insane to say it doesn't work.
