And because patients are perfectly capable of messing up: My MIL did not like that her retiree health insurance was changing. So, she just kept using the old cards and the insurance company’s Pharmacy Benefits Manager kept approving the multitude of prescriptions she filled at the local pharmacy. She was happy…until about six months later when the insurance company sent her a demand for repayment. Took me months to get that mess straightened out. Found she had pretty much every insurance card she’d ever been issued in her wallet. Sometimes she’d give a doctor’s office one card for her primary carrier, and to some other doctor’s office she’d give her secondary card as the primary insurance. (She had Blue Cross AND Blue Shield AND Medicare. It was fun. Not.)
