955_36<p>This article sure hit home and confirms much of what I suspected in my dealings with Blue Shield, such as incomprehensible phone trees, missing records, dropped calls, and repeated refusals to refer the case to a supervisor. In my case, I was lucky California has an insurance office you can get involved to help with a complaint. Still, it took 6 months, 18 calls totaling over 12 hours, several emails, and a letter to CA to get the $3300 that Blue Shield owed me.</p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/06/customer-service-sludge/683340/?gift=uI1oWq_S1IZPZf0t01zOXJ27ZLDUSAVgiQ2Dwse6OCI&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/</span><span class="invisible">2025/06/customer-service-sludge/683340/?gift=uI1oWq_S1IZPZf0t01zOXJ27ZLDUSAVgiQ2Dwse6OCI&amp;utm_source=copy-link&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=share</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sludge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sludge</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BlueShield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueShield</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheAtlantic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheAtlantic</span></a></p>
