Subject: Re: Friday Chat 6-1-12 by TommyT-Bone on 2012/6/1 19:21:29 My rant of the hour ..... I rant all day. My wife is going for surgery Monday on her left leg. Previous surgeries only provided tempory relief and the cyst in the affected area just grew back. She has had three surgeries by two different doctors. Going back for #4 with a doctor that has known my wife over 20 years. She's a nerve specialist that deals primarily in the hand. She is more than capable of performing this surgery. My wife will be getting tissue replaced, a nerve release behind her left knee and something else done up by the toes. Now for the rant part. The hospital calls to set up the payment. They want over two grand and say we haven't met our deductible. We have met our deductible in full. They pull this $#!+ all the time. Last year they tried the same thing. I just got and insurance statement today showing we paid our deductible in full. The next part will be my pecentage responsibility. With a preferred provider my share is 10%. That's easy enough to figure. The part that really burns my ass is I have been dealing with this hospital group since 1979. With the same medical insurance company for over 25 years. I owe these people nothing. I've paid everything I ever owed them over that time. Then they call with their avante garde attitude singing the pay to play tune. Here, play this ........... |
