  So today I get another bill for my Fistula surgery that I had in June. I was not on medicare when I had my surgery- Well today I  phoned and found out that they sent the bill to the wrong doctor!! I mean wtf, can't people READ!? well okay thats it for today
?

[paddbear0000]

Based on my experience, no, there are a number of people in the medical profession that can't read!

Hey,

It does seem that not only can't they read, I believe
alot of them do not have the ability to think, either!
Particularly those who do billing!

i had an emergency room visit the end of august. now this is not the first time i have used this hospital, but they again took copies of my insurance information. yesterday i get a letter in the mail designed for people without insurance offering a way to pay my bill. they apparently haven't even attempted to bill my insurance. needles to say they are going to get a rather pointed phone call on monday. NO BILLING AGENCIES AREN'T ABLE TO READ!!!

Don't even get me stared on billing companies and collection agencies! Evil little bastards...   

[skyedogrocks]

Ugh, we feel your pain.  I swear they are all dingbats who work there and don't enter the correct information after each call. 

Rob has his own insurance, BCBS, yet every other month we are getting a denied bill from BCBS for his dialysis.  Reason?  They think he's on Medicaid and he isn't.  I can't tell you how many agents we talked to, how many supervisors we talked to and nobody has been able to resolve this.  Crazy!!!

I hate dealing with insurance companies, they totally suck!  I hope you get it all resolved!!!

I just got off the phone with my doctor's office. They were desperate to know how much I could pay them per month since my insurance company had declined several of my claims! They were literally begging me to pay $100 a month. Are you kidding! There goes our food budget for 2 weeks! I don't think they were happy when I said I was unemployed and would be lucky if I was able to pay $50 a month. 

[kitkatz]

Tell the doc's office to deal with the insurance. That is why you have it!

[paddbear0000]

Unfortunately, it's a legitimately denied, due to a pre-existing condition clause and the fact that I had no insurance a few months ago.
