I got this in the mail on Friday. Yeah, it's a bill.

Back to my benefits coordinator on Monday!

Claudia said...: Oh No! Maybe you'll get a discount if you pay it all at once? LOL j/k I'm sure the insurance crap will work itself out :) This post made me smile...Thanks!; October 5, 2009 at 1:59 PM
Ananda Devika said...: Yeah, don't worry yet - my bills came separately. $35k from the hospital and $15k from the surgeon, and they send them to you first, while they're waiting for the insurance to process. I think they do it to drum up hear attack business! :) You have a letter or something that shows you were approved at some point - if the bill gets denied, just keep resubmitting until they pay it. Insurance companies do that on purpose. You have to be just as stubborn. In my case, they knocked off 10 grand off the hospital bill and paid 90% of that, then knocked off 13k off the surgeon's bill and paid 90% of that! It'll work out - you've made it this far!; October 5, 2009 at 8:53 PM
funkyrhodes said...: Waaaa? That's interesting, they didn't account for your insurance coverage. You gotta let us know what happened!; October 7, 2009 at 8:57 PM
