At least, it was unpopular until the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance made insurance agencies pay consumers back for their medical treatment.
According to the article at The Capital Times, more than 8,000 consumers contacted the office last year to complain about needing reimbursement for Wisconsin health insurance.
And the office helped those consumers to recover a total of $8 million in funds. At least 1/3 of the time complaints were ruled in favor of the consumer, meaning that all or a good portion of costs were reimbursed to them.
As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and it pays to fight back when insurance agencies try to shortchange their customers.
Could Wisconsin health insurance stand to see some improvement? Clearly, the answer is yes. But health insurance customers in other states should follow the example of Wisconsin's state citizens; don't be afraid to fight an insurance agency that won't listen to your demands, or that denies your rights.
