It seems like Blue Cross is doing close to that. In that at least they
were found to be the best at actually approving claims. Of course that
still raises questions about 5-7% of claims that they deny but I
haven't seen any follow up that looked into the validity of those
claims that were denied by the company.
 

I truly can't picture an insurance company that would ever approve ALL
claims. That would imply that all of their customers are perfectly
honest and not trying to put something over on them. There are always
going to be a few people who try claiming something sketchy. And sadly,
with medical claims, there are some sketchy doctors who will write up
medical documentation for a claim that they suspect is bogus so simply
accepting everything the claimant says at face value is not something
that is likely to happen anywhere.

Sure, and I read about a denied claim by United Insurance (or whatever
the company's name is where the executive worked) for a $50,000
high tech wheelchair for a kid with all kinda disabilities but up thread
I posted an article about a gal who needs some kinda specialized med
or she'll die and it costs $8000 per month and Blue Cross has denied
her claim.

Should she die because they don't want to pay?  I'd also ask how in the
fuck can the pills costs $8000 per month, are they made with ground
unicorn horn?

Seems to me this is where a multi-bazillion dollar insurance company
ought to step in and sue the pharmaceutical corporation for price gouging
or something, on behalf of the patient.

Seems like the insurance companies could use the good karma before
more of their executives get executed.
