I had ear surgery back in the 80's by Mr. Shea senior. Because he did such a good job on my ear, I came back around 6 years ago when I needed aids. I started seeing Mr. Shea jr and my insurance paid 100% BCBS. They did have a little trouble getting their money but they DID get it. It's time to now replace them with another set of 7000$ aids. And they informed me that because BCBS was hard to get along with I would have to pay for them up front and be reimbursed by BCBS. I asked , did you get your money for my last set and was told yes. I then said that you(Shea hearing center) just lost me and 7000$ just walked out of your practice. Why? Because there is no way I can pay for them up front. I drive 2 hours just to see these guys while their are people here I could see. Why? Because for the most part I liked them. I've now made an appointment at ENT in Tupelo next month and they DO FILE my BCBS insurance and they WILL PUT 7000$ into their account and I won't have to drive to Memphis anymore. I'm sorry that they did this. read more
