PPO claim on blood.
Hi Flowerpower,
I just went in today to get the copy out of my chart at the hospital to prove they used the blood I donated. I am sending in the claim form tommorow so I will let you know how it goes. Health Net PPO is what I have and the claims dept. ASSURED me I would be re-imbursed only if the blood was used. If they try to not re-imburse me they are in for a fight. I got an itemized bill from my hospital and oh my gawd the prices are unbelievieble! I bet I saved them so much donating my own blood! Send me a private message to remind you how it goes. And, in the mean time, call and ask your PPO if they cover blood donated to the hospital (used for you.) and if they do then why not your own? I may just try to find out the price of a pint from the hospital to see the difference in price and to use as ammunition if needed. Good luck.
