    My GF is trying to make me a better person because I am used to insulting people and hate people in general.
    In the last 24 hrs I told 3 people how much I appreciate their friendship and their effort to see me as me beyond the aggressive insults, sarcasm, bullshit and anger.
    It sort of felt good...

    my cat dropped a live mouse on my back at 4am while i was sleeping. i grabbed it, not knowing what it was. we both squeaked in surprise, and i tossed it across the room out of reflex or whatever. it disappeared.

    just met a relative for the first time who has documents tracing my family back to 1166. apparently we own a castle in bern, switzerland, and i finally got to see our family crest, which i've only heard about as a child. here's a copy of it made in 1548.

    A couple of weeks back, I woke up with stomach ache/cramp ... possible food poisoning, maybe passing a stone, it hurt all day for 2 days straight ... just a constant pain 24/7... but no diarrhea and no vomiting ... so I go to the emergency room (I have a primary doc now, of course) anyways, they run some tests .. urine, blood, x-ray ... 5-hrs later I go home with 2 sets of antibiotics and 1 set of Hydro-condone, for what the physician say's is just a minor infection. I take antibiotics as prescribed and pain is gone the next day. Great.

    and then comes the bill ... apparently they didn't get my insurance info that night.

    so here's an itemized list.

    of course I knew the CT Scan was going to be expensive as fuck .. but DYUMMM.

    there was also a separate bill for $630 for the the 2 physicians that took care of me that night.

    so a grand total of $8,312.79 ... ouch.
    Insurance better get this right.

    • yup, I should show you my itemized bill for stitches and some bruises. I literally walked out after a while because they wanted to do more stuffsofakingback
    • couldnt they determine the problem without the ct scan? I go to the dr and usually the ct scan is last if everything else fails to detect an infection.yurimon
    • they ran blood, urine and an x-ray ... the only thing that was off was that my white blood cell count was elevatedRamanisky2
    • but that was due to the infection ..
      CT Scan was the last thing they did.
      that included a dye injection into my body which felt very strange indeed.

  • Hayoth2

    Ram,

    I had a very similar situation and my bills are almost the same. Your insurance company should have sent you an 'explanation of benefits' that shows what the hospital billed the insurance company, the discount you receive for having insurance and the 'member responsibility' (your out of pocket cost).

    The hospital did what's called 'balance billing' which I think is a way to scam individuals who aren't aware. It takes about 3 weeks for your insurance company to pay the claims to the hospital but in the mean time you should have received your benefits claim..

    If you did get your explanation of benefits fax the hospital bill to the insurance carrier and they will handle it to get the statement altered.
