Blue Cross of California fucked me over when we had our child. My ex got pregnant while we were living in California. We moved to Florida while she was 6 months pregnant and had our son here in November '94.
I assumed Blue Cross would cover the delivery here in Florida. When the hospital bills were submitted Blue Cross of California refused to pay saying now that we were in Florida we should have cancelled our California Blue Cross and Switched to Blue Cross of Florida. I thought Blue Cross was Blue Cross, but apparently its not, each state Blue Cross is its own corporate entity.
Got into a really heated battle with their customer service reps. One even had the gall to say you should have put your wife on a plane a couple days before she was going to deliver and brought her back to LA.
Then the hospital started sending me the fricking bills.
Real ream job cause we had been paying premiums for years and never even used our insurance. So I felt really ripped off.
