DH is handicap and I deal with a lot of medical bills. I have just finished paying the last one even though their computer bill paying system leaves much to be desired. If these hospitals want to keep up with bill pay technology, they need to pay IT something to get it right. Finished sorting through the other messes of bills we really don't owe anything yet because they haven't filed with insurance. I truly believe that they think I am stupid and will just pay it. Nope.
I have 9 claims ready for the mail for the supplemental health policy we have. Some date back to 2015. With all the time it took me to fill out their forms by hand, they want stamps not FAX. So archaic! I subtract my hourly wage from those claims and they will be worth about $12. OK I exaggerate. But you know what I mean.
Now I have a bill for a PETscan back in July. The lab was having trouble getting it approved by insurance. But they told us to come on in for the scan that a Peer-to-Peer meeting was set up and it was sure to be approved. It was not. I see that it was appealed in November after the first turn down. So you think $10K PETscan is worth having a "benign" diganosis? Sort of. But I'M NOT PAYING IT!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I feel sorta better now. Where's my shovel?? I need to DIG!!!
