@forwhygames: I’m not saying don’t give your babies non cute names! I’m just saying it might give you headaches because #insurancecompanies are the worst. #expectingtwins #expectingtriplets
I’m an insurance enrollment processor, I got a file for twins with the same first name, but spelled differently. Like those poor kids but also their poor claims.

My twin and I were on our parents health insurance and on the same medication. That was always fun come refill time. Insurance always declined it

reposted to boost bc it was literally a nightmare. Spent a decent amount of time fighting for coverage because the concept of duplicates is apparently too complicated 😭 wish I'd known this 6 yrs ago

As a twin where our first names have a one letter difference, neither of our different insurances with our jobs can get it right. We’ve been fighting with insurance companies for YEARS.

My twins were born 12/28 and 12/29 and I thank heavens everyday! Getting their birth certificate was fun though, yes they're twins, yes they were born diff days 4 min apart. Ins has been easy!

No joke. My bro and I are 2 yrs apart but same birthday. Our insurance got suspended for potential fraud so many times as kids! Such a hassle for my parents! My ear surgery once got put on hold for it

as a mom of twins I doesn't matter, every hospital, clinic automatically treats them as duplicates. I have to cut then off and say 2 kids

it’s kinda crazy to me that the insurance company would know you’re expecting twins based on the prenatal appts and not flag accounts to prevent this

BadAtButtons :
I took my husband’s last name. We have the same first name, just masc/fem versions (think Christopher and Christine). Our birthdays are also reverse (like 3/10 and 10/3). Insurance hates us.

Dealing with something like this at work on a set of twins. Ins is denying duplicate on some claims of one twin.

As an identical twin with a very similar names and the SSN off by just one digit....the credit score companies will also only give you one credit score and just your twin as an alias...

Best way to solve these headache would be to throw insurance executives in prison when they pull this crap or just dissolve the insurance companies altogether

YES!!! I had twins boy & girl. Our insurance denied my daughters because it showed I had a baby with the same birth date born that day and min later. Y'all they thought it was a clerical error😭

Also, please, make sure the hospital registers your babies name. I had a baby named ‘newborn’ for six months because my hospital never submitted the paperwork for his name!

How will having unsimilar names help if the hospital and insurance company still can’t coordinate who is baby 1 and baby 2?

At our medical group it’s always because claims are billed with identical records under moms policy and zero notes with who’s baby a or baby b etc
