How I Prevailed Over Empire Blue Cross Blue ShieldDo you ever feel so utterly frustrated dealing with your health insurance provider that your blood seems to boil? The common denominator is greed and Blue Cross Blue Shield’s certainly at the top of the list when it comes to horror stories. My own tales of torment with Blue Cross Blue Shield (actually, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield of New York; hereinafter, BCBS) thankfully don’t involve terrible illness. The reverse side of their letter indicated I could lodge an external appeal to the State, which I subsequently did. My external appeal consisted of a detailed letter to the NYSDFS, BCBS’s rejection letter, my original appeal to BCBS and accompanying physicians’ letters and documents.
