Need to Vent!!

Jun 01, 2012

I went for my pre-op apt. yesterday. I got a call from the hospital on the way there saying not to forget my payment. I said what payment I do not have a co-pay I get billed a percentage. The lady was very rude and informed me that I had to pay up front for my hospital stay and it would be $1498.00? due yesterday. I pretty much freeked out and told her that I had never been informed of this and I have been jumping through hoops since Sep. 2011 to get everything done that my insurance required. They spring this on me 4 days brfore my surgery. She called me a lier and did not believe that I was never told. I turned around and came home and called my insurance and ask if they could do that. My insurance said No they cann't and that that was way more than I would be paying period. The dr. said oh yea I'm sorry you did not come into this process the same way most people do through a siminore. Mine is for Medical reasons not elective. In the end I did ot have to pay and everything is still a go for Tues. June 5th. I did not need that extra stress now. Always check things out before you  go ahead with something that doesn't sound right to you. Never take a No from someone who is not in authority to give you a Yes.
