Any recourse for recurring pattern of processing errors / mistakes?

I have BCBS PPO. I have a provider (psychiatrist) who has an out-of-network exception, and I file claims directly. I see this provider regularly, so I file claims regularly.

I’ve filed 5 claims so far this year. Every single one has been processed incorrectly. Every. Single. One.

Some of the errors are one-offs. The provider doesn’t have the right qualifications to do therapy (what?). The provider is out of network (ignoring the exception). The provider charged $0 for this service (uh… no.) Other mistakes are recurring, and happen every time — like this weird coding error that allows them to give me less than I’m owed.

Every time I call. Every time I spend 5-10 hours struggling to find a competent customer service representative to solve the problem. Some rounds are more difficult than others. The last time required 3 representatives, a denied appeal, and a *second* appeal before they finally fixed it.

Every time I ask, “what can we do to make sure this problem doesn’t happen next time?” They might give me a reference number or other instructions on how to process the claim properly. Next time comes around, I provide that reference number, I do everything they tell me to do. And lo! behold! It’s processed incorrectly. Again.

They always fix it… eventually. But at this point I’ve probably devoted around 60 (unpaid) hours towards fixing their mistakes.

I know this is probably futile, but is there any recourse for me? It’s simply not fair that they get to keep making the SAME MISTAKES over and over again, hoping I won’t notice, placing the burden on me to fight their byzantine, nameless corporate bureaucracy to get what I am owed. I’ve thought about filing a grievance, but to what end? So I can devote more unpaid hours of my life for literally no benefit? Is there really nothing else I can do?
