Emblem Health Insurance HIP Removed my Primary Care Physician of 25 Years and Replaces Her with Dr. David Valentine Who I Do Not Know and I only find out 3 Months Later!

Be careful and know it is time to notify the State Attorney General’s office yet again.  Wait -- too tired to contact AG’s office but wait until you hear this.

I hurt my knee -- the one I have had 2 surgeries on and I called to get a referral.  I made two calls to HIP before I found out the ugly truth that with out my knowledge or permission they had removed my primary care physician who I have been seeing for close to 20 years and quietly Emblem snuck in a doctor I have never heard of until today Dr. David Valentine!  As soon as I found out about this corrupt sneaky dealing I had my MD put back in place.

5/30 Emblem claims system defaulted so an automated MD was picked.

8/27/11 The system defaulted and it went to 5./30/11 when my MD’s location was not participating at that time.  Emblem assigned a MD and Emblem never notified since this just happened.

FYI:  I have been with my MD and Emblem HIP for quite awhile.

I spoke to someone in my MD’s office and she said of course it is always our fault.

I hurt my knee and there are  thangs I am not sharing with you where I may take legal actions and I can be right but that doesn’t mean all this isn’t exhausting.  I got my MD back and I am just mortified that I pay Emblem HIP so much money and I have to spend way too much time on the phone just to see a knee specialist.   My favorite knee specialist who operated on me twice I don’t even call for appointments because you have to wait 6 months and he is at Beth Israel and sitting waiting for an appointment at Beth Israel feels like 6 months!
