Gonna cry. IPG to Omnicom, all my long term doctors are no longer in-network and I double checked in Dec to make sure they were covered.

Mysteriously once I receive the bill, it’s flagged for out-of-network…

My medications I’ve been on for years are also no longer covered.


Do I find a new company to work for? I’m so sick of this place and it’s not even month 1. Don’t get me started on other “benefits”…

Are you on a new plan with Omnicom? Check with the insurance company directly. What may have happened is that you’re out of network with your old provider as the policy has been terminated, but now that bill will be handed over to the new provider. This just happened to me when i changed plans/jobs. EOBs that were declared in-network became out-of-network but my new primary insurance will now cover it. Depending on the providers, the changeover can be messy or have a lag. So don’t panic until you have all the info.

If this doesn’t get you anywhere, check the different plans available through Omnicom. Consider a higher cost plan that allows out-of-network coverage. If you speak to your Benefits Co-ordinator or Head of Benefits, you’d be surprised what they can do to override start dates. Especially if you have good reason (which you do).

This also happened to me when switching jobs despite the front desk assuring me I was covered + everything was in order.

So sorry this is happening to you.

You can sometimes get a doctor to override your prescription so that it’s covered. I know that doesn’t solve the doctor issue, but one step at a time.
