Just an FYI for those in the US with insurance issues

this sounds oddly plausible

a good doctor will pester the insurance company on your behalf. a couple times in my Back Pain Odyssey my insurance noped out on a procedure, and my doctor called them up and was like “no, really” and they gave in.

so if your insurance is in the habit of going “you don’t actually need TWO months of physical therapy, just walk it off,” tell the doctor who ordered it, and they may very well volunteer to, or agree to, call up the insurance people and go “simon says pay for the fucking therapy.”

For all my peeps out there fighting the good fight against Big Pharma Bureaucratic Bullshit.

this is literally not how health insurance works at all. compliance officers have nothing to do with denials of claims or services. instead of believing “medical hack” memes that are based entirely in fiction, read your insurance policy. reach out to the member services department with questions if you don’t understand something. use resources like online portals to get access to your plan documents and prior authorization medical review criteria. inquire about the appeals process if something you believe should be covered is denied. don’t listen to this nonsense because it’s not how it works and you’ll only get more frustrated.

edit: HERE is a snopes link about this is false.
