It's about the same as any other claim organization - sometimes you end up with someone who doesn't know the rules and overpays a claim and sometimes you end up with someone who does know the rules and denies the claim. There isn't a time that I pick up a prescription at the pharmacy and don't wonder how normal people make ends meet. If I have a $25 copay on a drug that's covered by my corporate healthcare package, we send it to Tricare and they pay all but $3 or $5 of it. So, again - how do uninsured or underinsured people make ends meet. They probably have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, use tissues instead of allergy medication, etc. I just thank my lucky stars.
