Apr. 28th, 2026 11:59 pmMeanwhile, we are still struggling to get J’s colonoscopy properly paid for by the insurance company – the problem is that the hospital has outsourced its billing department and the people are agreeable on the phone but never follow through. He’s been trying for more than three months to get them to correct the coding. Grr. Anyway, I’ve now drafted letters for him to the CEO of the hospital and to the insurance company – one would think that the fact that the other two providers had correctly coded their charges for the same event would matter, but it may not. I feel strongly that we need to follow through with this to the very end, especially the part about letting the hospital administration know how bad this billing department is, because other patients won’t have the same resources we do to fight back when mistakes like this are made.
