What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I am currently serving in Saudi Arabia as a DOD civilian.
On May 18, 2008 my wife, who lives in Warner Robins, Georgia suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm.
By the time the red cross reached me, she had already been placed on a "life Flight" and flown to the Atlanta Med Center, which is a level II trauma center.
This was ordered by the Houston Med center in Warner Robins because it is not a trauma center, able to handle such an emergency.
My issue is, we were billed $18,000 for the Helicopter flight and Blue cross says they wont pay it.
In a life threatening emergency such as this, why would this not be covered?
Is this something I should pursue legally?
