Ok just cause you asked...I am wondering if being double covered makes any difference at all. I am starting a new job and they have Aetna PPO also I have recently gotten married and my husband's ins. is Regence BlueShield select Network. Also would it just be best to call the insurance company and ask if this surgery is covered? Is any worked with Regence?

I would check with HR to see if they have rules on how it works when you have 2 insurance plans. I don't even think they allow that in TX anymore...but I can't be certain. You need to know which is the primary insurance & which is the secondary & what each plan covers.

Welcome to the board. I've only been here few weeks & have learned a lot.

HI,
Welcome.
I don't know about the double insurance thing. Maybe ask your doc's office.
