I was forced to buy the Covered California Insurance when my current coverage was taken from me. Got a great price on $83.00 per month on what I thought was comparable insurance to my old policy. Finally, months after signing up I got my card and began looking around for doctors in the Blue Shield Network. Fancy that, all though I got a list of doctors in the Blue Shield network, none were in the Covered California Plan.
Blue Shield (BS) explained that they could not provide up to date information on all their doctors and it was up to me to call all of them to find who in my area was in the plan. Well BS seems to be able to track millions of subscribers but not thousands of doctors, makes sense to me, does it make sense to you.
BS has no doctors in the plan, they hide that by using a shell game providing their entire list of all medical staff in the system to prevent the obvious from being exposed.
