My primary insurance is Aetna, which I recieve through an employer, but I am also enrolled in Medicaid because of my financial situation.
I recently signed up for a membership with a specialized clinic that does not accept insurance whatsoever. They charge you for a membership, which is supposed to include all visits, tests, referrals, etc. and I signed up for a year and have already paid for it.
After my first appointment I got a prescription that required a pre-auth before Aetna would cover it. I guess while talking to the pharmacy my doctor found out I also have Medicaid. They just contacted tonight to inform me that I cannot be a patient there.
I know Medicaid tends not to reimburse doctors well, but if I’m paying for the services in full, then why does it matter that I’m enrolled? Is there any chance I can get my membership fee back?
