Definitely. The nurse asked about my numbers and I told her
"If i can be honest with you...i havent been taking them. They send me into a panic"
Then when the doctor came in
"So what made you stop taking your medication?"
"Umm...i think we got our words crossed. Ive been taking the medication...i stopped taking my numbers..."
"Ohh ok. That makes sense now."
Seriously...wtf.

Sounds like most the "doctors" I have had. I wonder how they get their license half the time. I also wonder why they do not know how to listen and pay attention to somone that is supporting them.

Stress is no excuse for not doing your freaking job. If you cant do your job due to stress go on disability.

I'm with you there. I was trying to get across it is a new norm to be stressed. The medical field doesn't have a monopoly on stress.

Yea...financially. Very much so in fact. I had to call my insurance company bevause they denied all my medical claims. Lady of the phone said "oh well we had reached out to you regarding if we were your only insurance and didnt hear back so we denied everything."
"Thats funny cause you covered ONE of my bills that was small."
"Oh clearly just a clerical error. Now that you've confirmed we are your only provider we will resubmit them"
Sure...sure. Seems like you were trying to get out of paying but sure... Now Ive got tons of bills coming to my house that arent even correct. Idk what to think....

Try getting a gun pointed at you daily and then told your life doesnt matter and everyone hates you. God bless our police. Thank a cop today ❤

Call each place with a bill and ask them to resubmit each claim. This needs to be done as soon as you can. You can not rely on insurance company to do it. I know calling can be stressfull. It sends my bp skyhigh just thinking about it.

Basically what I've been doing is just calling the insurance company and asking if they resubmitted it. Last time I was told that "matt" handled that one and a new invoice will be resubmitted to me so disregard that one.

I found I had to call each place after I called the insurance co. The insurance company has a follow through problem.

Btw in case anyone is wondering: if you dont have insurance it costs $2089 for an ER visit. I know cause thats the bill they sent me when my insurance tried to weasel out of it.

Huh. The way I see it is that if they want my money they have to track me down. I wont pay a cent until I hear from my insurance. Ive also found that if you call them they just say your insurance came back with a zero dollar amount. I dont have time for that.
