In a wicked twist, I was surprised to receive medical cards from AmeriGas this year. I just threw them away when I got them. I mean, I retired from there in 2017.
Then I noticed I was getting mail from the blues. I had figured it was advertisements. But I opened one up and found out that some of the medical institutions are still billing the Blues through AmeriGas and the blues are PAYING the bills!
I always make sure I supply my most recent medical information when I go to get services performed, but apparently old information doesn’t die easily. And apparently someone at AmeriGas thinks I still work there.
It’s not legal to carry multiple coverages, but I’m just going to play dumb. If I bring this to anyone’s attention, I’m liable to cause a snafu in my regular insurance.
The other odd thing was that I got a letter from Medicare once that accused me of having double coverage through XYZ Company that I had never heard of. When I told the official I had never worked at XYZ, he quickly apologized and said he’d take care of it.
I haven’t signed anything or paid anything through AmeriGas in 5 years. No wonder they’ve had to let over 50% of their staff go and closed all 900+ stores.
I guess it all comes down to poor leadership at the top…
