Maybe not valid experience? That is not how it works. Your policy is a contract with the insurance company. It is well defined (but maybe not understandable by the purchaser) and unchangable.A good bit of experience dealing with (including doing work for) insurance companies.
To clarify, I did not say they could go back in time and change things, but there are ways they can change things going forward. From a quick Google search, here's a report where United Health just tried to do something like that in June -- change policy less than a month from announcement: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/ne...-er-visit-policy-that-goes-into-effect-july-1 And to my point, I have United Health and did not receive an actual letter or email giving notice of this proposed change -- they just announced it and luckily enough people saw the announcement to raise a stink about it. I didn't hear about it until I ran a search tonight.You bought what you bought. Insurance companies are not allowed to go back in time and change things...
Awesome cherry pick. Seems that people showing up for emergency treatment with non emergency conditions are getting pissed at not being re-imbursed for wasting emergency staff resources?To clarify, I did not say they could go back in time and change things, but there are ways they can change things going forward.

Like I said, I just learned about this tonight, and I don't have the history behind it. I'm against wasting resources too, but knowing this particular insurer pretty well and seeing some of the claims that they have tried to deny, I'm not inclined to assume that they were acting honorably. In any event, it is just one example that insurance companies will modify policies going forward with little or no actual notice to individuals.Awesome cherry pick.

They do not have coverage for what they were doing. Seems the insurance company was dumb enough to pay for this in the past. They are simply trying to correct their mistake and honour the terms of their contract. Or do I misunderstand?
Careful, you are bringing a knife to a gun fight. You are using a media report found on Google to argue with a professional in the business. Reminds me of those coffee mugs you can buy:To clarify, I did not say they could go back in time and change things, but there are ways they can change things going forward.

Near drowning might be treatable, drowning means dead.get insurance. Go to 50’ on first dive do a surface interval that was too short, go back in and now develop decompression illness.I’m pretty new to diving and the max we’ve gone is around 50ft. (But on average, we do 30ft - 40ft)
should I get diver insurance yet? It seems the most likely accident I could get right now is drowning, which is treatable in most hospitals?
