My core inquiry is if this is worth disputing. Health care information: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan – HSA – deductible then co-insurance, deductible not yet met.
Current medical conditions: Anxiety and ADHD – both medicated.
I was reading one night a month or so ago and the side of my face went numb and my arm got tingly, it only lasted a few minutes but it didn’t help my anxiety, I freaked out, called my wife to come home and we decided what to do. Thinking I had an idea of what may be happening, I consulted the internet and specifically the CDC web site listed below:
https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/signs_symptoms.htm
https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/types_of_stroke.htm
The first article lead me to the second and specifically a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – some symptoms of which I’d just experienced for a duration of time listed as possible or common.
As a result, I followed the CDC web site suggestion and called an ambulance, they did the stroke testing on me there and at the hospital – both negative. Per the diagnosis code F419 it was deemed related to my anxiety and I was released that night.
Should I contest this lack of coverage?
Denial reason + some info from insurer web site:
