SunnyVibes24+FollowInsurance Won’t Cover My Surgery Choice?Has anyone else had their insurance refuse to pay for a specific surgical technique? My surgeon picked what they thought was best for me, but now BCBS says they won’t cover it. It’s so frustrating to have my care limited by insurance rules. Would love to hear if anyone’s appealed this or found a workaround. #HealthInsurance #PatientStories #SurgeryExperience #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Beth Burton+FollowWhy Hospitals Need 'Golden Tickets'Ever notice how some patients seem stuck in a hospital loop, always starting over with new doctors? Turns out, assigning these frequent flyers to the same familiar docs (like a 'Golden Ticket') can actually break the cycle. One hospital tried it, and patients got better care, doctors felt less burnt out, and even tough cases like Ms. Williams (COPD + bad housing) finally saw real progress. Imagine if every hospital did this! #HealthcareInnovation #ContinuityOfCare #PatientStories #HospitalLife #Health91Share
