Springtime

Ah, yes – Springtime!

The air is filled with wondrous aromas. Red Cardinals and tiny Hummingbirds once again visit my yard. Grey skies have been replaced by blue ones, filled with puffy white clouds.

Of course, here in New Jersey, the warm weather brings other things back to our skies, including the pretty blue and white blimp of our largest health insurance carrier.

Here’s an interesting factoid about this vanity gas bag – a Blimp has an operating cost of about $3,000 a day --- or about 1.1 million dollars a year. a year. Yet, at the same time, nearly every client’s office I visit complains how it has become nearly impossible to get one of their agents on the telephone to answer a claim inquiry or to get a patient pre-authorization for treatment.

So, maybe you have to wait a week or two before you get the authorization for that procedure that your doctor wanted you to get immediately. At least, if you are lucky, you might glance up at the sky and see a pretty blimp, which will surely brighten your day! Your health care dollars sometimes work in mysterious ways!
