    • Hi Karen! (0 / 0)

      It's awful. I am going to deal with it on Monday as I received a lot of good tips on MT and DKos. I was too emotional and livid on Friday to deal with it. Like someone said, I am going to try my "fake nice" on Monday. :-)

      • Elisa, you won't believe this either. (0 / 0)

        Ladies, I have in my possession one of the rarest things in the universe.  I had to read it out loud to my husband to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

        BC/BS sent me my EOB for my hospitalization last month.  Not only did they cover everything, but they actually reimbursed the hospital for MORE than what the hospital submitted!!!!  Almost $400 more!  ON PURPOSE.  There was a note that explained in non-English insurance-ese. I couldn't believe it!  I think I shall frame it, it may be worth something someday.

        Of course, I'm still $40 short of my deductible, dammit.  SO aggravating.

        • Whoa....that's amazing. (0 / 0)

          I received a letter yesterday that showed I still owe money but that the hospital was waiting to clear up the final payments from Blue Shield.  I'm not completely sure I owe anything, but after I called the hospital, it sounds like I have to wait until insurance has paid all that they owe.  

          One of the biggest frustrations I feel is knowing that there are so many people who can't afford the time to dig into the morass of paper and who may end up paying more than they are required.
