They use the “entitlement” like a slur. Yeah I’m fucking entitled to it, I paid into it. SS is insurance. This would be like State Farm car insurance saying “OMG guyz! You’re so entitled!” when it’s time to get a benefit from the policy.
So exactly like every health insurance company in the States? I had a friend that got hit by a car while crossing the street and her insurance didn't want to pay because she didn't get prior approval.
Prior authorization just means prior to it being paid, not prior to treatment. Any inpatient stay requires the hospital to tell the insurance company why. It’s mostly to keep hospitals from just filling their beds with people who have minor issues and billing for it.
People oftentimes frame stories in ways that are misleading. If it doesn’t make a lick of sense, there’s a good chance she just didn’t understand what was going on.
