Insurance woes

The insurance stuff going on that I mentioned earlier has our new insurance insisting that I pay a $50 co-pay daily for 29 radiation treatments. Stop gasping, that's what it'll cost me to see a specialist from now on. That co-pay doesn't go towards the deductible nor to our out-of-pocket costs. It's just money that flies out of our pockets on top of our monthly premium. However, we were told that we wouldn't have that co-pay in July, RMCC pulled info off of the insurance site that indicated we wouldn't have a co-pay, and the summary we have indicates that there would be "no charge" in a physician's office. As of yesterday, the insurance company will be auditing all of the claims because they found a mistake in their system. Yet I'm not encouraged. I'll know when they give us an answer within two weeks.
