My Doctor is Trying to fug me Over.

So, long story short, I saw this doctor a few in February because he was covered by my insurance. Realized right off the bat that he wasn't the doctor for me, seemed like a total quack. Skip ahead to today, I get a bill for these three doctor visits totaling 396$. I called them up and said this was a mistake because they should've billed my insurance. After about an hour on the phone, it turns out that the lady in charge of filing payments mixed up my info and the billing to my insurance never went through. Problem solved? Nah.. They want ME to pay for this ladies mistake. They even threatened to take me to court if I didn't pay and that's not even the worst part... These assholes have it setup to where the 396$ I owe increases by nearly 25% each month, until I pay.

 

What the fug?

At the end of the day you are responsible for the bill.  Pay them and then file it with your insurance because you can bet your ass your ins co isnt going to reimburse the penalty.

Problem is, I have insurance at the moment. Pisses me off that I'm at fault because some dumb blonde couldn't file my info correctly.

Welcome to adulthood.  Handle it calmly because freaking out won't help matters.  Even if it's their fault just be cool about it.  

This is the best solution.  If you already pissed off someone I would call again tomorrow and you will most likely get someone else.  I have found that if you are nice and dont accuse them of being stupid or point fingers most will submit a claim to be refiled with the insurance.  The person you are talking to is someone that works and probably does not make a ton of money so he/she should be able to understand that $400 dollars is a lot to ask someone to pay, especially when the reason they are paying is because of an insurance filing mix up.

 

I actually had something similar happen where my twins went in to get a flu shot.  One claim was paid and another was denied because someone changed the birth date and it did not match. I kept having it resubmitted for about 9 months and the office kept screwing up and actually turned it over to a collection agency (was recalled from collection but still...)at one point.  Finally talked to someone that realized how stupid it was and sorted it out within a day or so.

 

Good luck.

I'd never be mean to someone, even if it's their fault. That won't get me anywhere.

they're just jealous that can't hold that many eggs

They're going to be extra jealous when I don't pay for it. I couldn't possibly be in more debt...smh.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
