tom is on the money about insurance companies denying coverage for scripts and tests.
my cardio doc told me that when they were doing ct/slice scan to check on the cardio arteries, they were picking up a partial image of the lung and they spotted on a few occasions the start of lung cancer. now the insurance company told them to reduce the size of the image so that it only covers the heart and related areas. why? so they don't have to pay out the additional coverage.
i work in the clinical/medical/forensic lab field, and yes insurance companies are cutting back at the cost of the patients.
