Subject: RE: Employee compensation
The psych stuff can be huge.
As some of you know I have PTSD. I take a lot of meds, go to therapy once
a
week and see a real shrink once a month. All of this is out of pocket
because BC/BS says it's pre-existing and they refuse to pay for it, since
it
was incurred in the military even though I didn't have symptoms until I
was
on their plan.
Man does this crap piss me off.
