Who in THEE H*LL Left The Gate Open?!

I know I haven't posted in a few days but I had some technical difficulties, in this instance that means my MS has been acting a straight DONKEY! So anyway, I arrive home a couple of days ago, gather my mail when I see an envelope from the hospital that performed my spinal tap. I immediately hold my breath (Anyone with MS or any chronic illness can relate to this "Oh my damn" feeling when they see yet ANOTHER bill from a provider) because I wasn't expecting anything from these people. I thought to myself maybe they didn't charge me the correct amount when they told me I had to pay a portion up front. I figured they might have been off by $20 or $30. I opened the envelope and saw a bill for...



I know, I know, you're thinking what I was thinking!

So after I fainted (Kidding) I was totally confused and trying to figure out how in the world I ended up with an almost $2,600 balance left over after my spinal tap when I have insurance. I already had a bad headache and this was NOT helping. I logged into the website, pulled up my EOB's and read the bottom message which stated the provider neglected to request an authorization for services.
I was hot like fish grease! I called my insurance company and had a chat with one of the reps. I requested she contact the provider and notify them of the physician's office error. In other words, I'm not paying you sh**!
Why was I so hot? This is the SAME physician's office that neglected to call in my prescription for my MS medication. I called them to inquire about it and they gave me a number to call. When I spoke with the rep they informed me it had never been requested. This is the SAME office that over charged me for a co-pay, told me I owed them for previous services they didn't charge me for on the day the services were performed but COULD remember to send me TWO copies of the same bill! You can bill me but you can't call in my meds, you can't call in my auth and you can't get my copay correct... guess who still does NOT have her medication? See her face below!
  

Yeah, this is the face you get when you mess with my health, my family, my friends or my money! 
See the CRAZY eye? Yeah, the right one I still can't see clearly out of... I will use all 75% of the vision I have in it to write a concise review about my experience with this practice, I WILL tell ALL. Oh by the way, people ask me quite frequently to recommend a physician and guess what else? I work in the health industry! Word spreads fast...

I finally got to vent about that and I feel better! I didn't even talk about the other two practices... *Le sigh*
At the end of it all it's really sad I felt from the first time I went the provider's office in this particular situation I was treated by the provider as though I wasn't really relevant and the actions of his staff seems to follow suit. I do understand people making mistakes but this is just carelessness. I have yet to receive a phone call with an apology for the neglect with the ordering of my medication and by the way I forgot to mention, when we discussed this new medication I specifically stated I needed something that would help with my symptoms (pain specifically). He prescribed me a medication that does absolutely NOTHING for your symptoms, it helps delay your relapse. Who in THEE H*LL left the gate open? LOL!

On a high note, I completed my "Pay it Forward" list from 2013, one person shared his candy bars with me today (I don't eat candy often but I was happy he offered because I just needed it today for some odd reason), another gave me a container of hummus and sent me a very sweet text message. There are sweet little blessings everywhere and those kind acts made me smile. :)

Be blessed in all you do and keep your heads up, there's always light even on cloudy days.
Create a beautiful evening and remember to SMILE!

One love, warm light

A friend of my use blade to peel of her finger nails and drop it where she use it, so after she has left i did know what came unto me i looked at my nails, my nails were very long and I took the blade which she just used on her own nails to cut of my finger nails, as i was maintaining my names, i mistakenly injured myself.
