What incentive to I have to do an exam at all? I have no reason to actually figure out what is going on... its insane!!!  I don't do this for fun! I need to make a living right?
Then I get a statement saying a few claims were paid, but these insurance company morons don't send the check to me...NO that would make too much sense...so they send it to the patient who is supposed to bring it to me, BUT the patient never received it...its lost...I can't get any info from the flipping insurance company other than it was sent!!! They can't track it, they just know it wasn't cashed...HUH!!! SO I call the patient because now I have to have them call the insurance company and tell them they never got the check!!! I lost it!!! Her I was talking to the insurance company and telling them that the patient had moved...so the girl on the line asked if I knew the patients new address...I stopped and asked her "so what your saying is...I can't get any info about the check, you don't send it to me, and now your going to rely on me to update the patients info in your system...?" I swear I almost burst into flames!!!
Thanks for letting me vent!!! |
Just wait till they get the government involved.

From the people that brought you FEMA and The Post Office comes ........
Universal Health Care ............ YAY !!!!!!!
Nothing new here. Next time you are in hospital and they give
you the bill, ask for the "cash price" ...... usually cut bill in half.
Thats why I self-insure for my health insurance. ...........
