At least that bottom stack you could scan to PDF then load into notebookLM to help sort/review/etc. The top bit seems to be envelopes, scan their contents too.

I dunno if I posted this before or if it was during my hiatus.. but we appealed some decision BCBS made and they buried us in paperwork. This came all at once in two giant boxes from USPS. We got more later too. View attachment 603246
I’ve heard of patients having good luck by showing this stack of paperwork to their local congressman and/or filing a complaint to state insurance board but maybe it’s just rumors

Seems like a lot of the horror stories are BCBS (they fucked me too multiple times) at one point I was arguing that a MRI was covered and they were saying it was not and the $2K cost was mine. I wrote all the times/dates/whos in a document I titled 'Exhibit A' to sue them when I guess they gave up. The Radiologist was in network so they covered it. They are a fucking clown show. Not sure any of the others are any better.

This whole fiasco was my son was receiving ABA for autism. At some point after 2 years of services we had to fill out some random survey they sent about his care. Based on what we provided, they claimed a third party reviewed our response and determined my son was "doing much better now" and no longer needed therapy so they wouldnt cover it. The kicker to that was they said they would stop covering it a couple months ago, so were trying to charge us for months of services out of pocket.

Couple things:
1. You don't just cure autism, obviously
2. If he was getting better IT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS IN THERAPY
3. Fine you want to stop covering it, you can't just say 'we stopped covering it a few months ago' and never tell us.

This wasn't some rinky dink charge, it was several thousands of dollars.

When I appealed they sent me that, which was an EOB of every single therapy session among many other things.

Eventually they just dropped the charge and we stopped services. Thankfully new insurance deemed it medically necessary.

little off topic, but figured i would share
right now, i take 2 pills and 9-10 supplements. for a long time, just just picking the AM pills out my 7 day holder, but stuff got changed and wasn't working. i got the one the left. had it for a couple of weeks, then mins after filling it up, glass of water slipped out of my hand onto the counter, spill water everywhere and knocking the case off, to where it opened every door and i lost a whole weeks worth of pills. upgraded to one on the right with snap locks and can say, after dropping it out of head high cabinet, it still held all the pills in place. it isn't prefect, think couple of the lids could be trimmed.

I also had the one on the left forever, and have now upgraded to the one on the right.

I have never in my personal historical experience known of ANYTHING good coming from "filling out a post treatment survey", as every time all it seems to be is the insurance company looking for a reason to deny coverage, or an excuse to sue someone for something...

Neither of those benefits me as a patient and customer of the insurance company.
