Medical Insurance denied my request for out of network service !!!! Preferred Care Advantage

Medical Insurance Preferred Care Advantage has denied my request for out of network service !!!! I am outraged!!!

I was forced to switch to Preferred Care Gold Advantage due to being on LTD for two years on August 1st 2008. Prior to switching products, Perferred care allowed me to recieve out of network care due to the lack of specialists in Rochester N.Y.

All I can say is that I am going to fight this to the end.

Today at about 1:00 pm I recieved a call from my PCP (Primary Care Physician) stating that my insurance has denied my request to see my Oncologist in Pittsburgh.

I also got a call Preferred Care stating that there is a product called Preferred Care worldwide that has service anywhere and was asked if it is one that Kodak uses. I told them that I don't think it was part of Kodak's health package.

So I called my Caseworker from Preferred Care Polly Johnston. She said she would look into it. I also called Kodak (Joann Powell) From EK Benefits. I didnot call the Kodak Employee Service Center because it just takes my phone call offshore to an Phippene Call Center.

So now my blood pressure is through the roof. I started to make a list of people I would contact if it is not resolved in my favor.

Pss, I also contacted Kodak's Head of Medical.
Now I just have to hope that they reconsider my situation.
I could use all your help. Please say a prayer that thing will get resolved
