Does bcbs pay claims from pain clinics? BCBS used to pay 4 treatment from pain clinic but stopped. BCBS claimed 1 reason, the doctor another.I started paying cash. When I would turn in bills, BCBS would always want more documents (doctor's notes from every visit which I've been told is unusual).I turned those in &still get denied. All of a sudden they don't like the lab codes. It appears Making it so difficult that people give up works. I'm so tired of fighting "the system". Why the controversy? Why can't I just turn in my claims and have them paid? Nothing changes from month to month. If BCBS is not going to pay - why?
