(37,648 posts)The Blue Cross list was always wrong for the city I came from. I think it was just a (very outdated) list of doctors that would take any Blue Cross policy of that grouping ("Advantage" or whatever).
Some of the drs were no longer in the city, one was a knee doctor and not a principal care doctor at all, and the rest didn't take Obamacare HMOs...until I found 2 (one was a nurse for a dr., and the other was 1 1/2 hrs away - I found that one on my own somehow,not using the provider list).
Maybe this nurse will take this policy in my new city. I'll see. Fingers crossed. If she says know, what I'll do is cry for a while, because I know what's going to happen next. I'll be making other calls like this one, all with the same response. Until I find the needle in the haystack. I'll be better off next year just paying out of pocket and hoping I don't have an accident or get cancer.
Then I'll be old enough for Medicare the following year.
