We may be doomed
My wife and I have been dealing with a similar issue for months now.
The medical supply outfit I got a new CPAP from have continued to bill my insurance every month for 7 months after it was paid for. I have contacted multiple different people at both the insurance company and medical supply company about this but it continues and they all give me the run around and say they will call us back.
They also say I owe for a co-pay, but every bill and contact give us a different amount that I owe, all the way from $328 to $88. The lowest was the last, but I am not sure we owe anything.
This sure does not inspire me with the conclusion that private corporations can do a better job than government, and certainly not cheaper.
Good luck and thanks for ensuring that PO box......

that the computer programs and processes we're putting in place to supposedly help us are actually making our jobs more difficult.
Yeah, but at the same time, what fun. Back when we were sending men to the moon, I never dreamed that someday I would have more computing power sitting on my desk than existed in the whole country.
Plus, for a couple bucks I can buy a laser to carry around in my pocket. You gotta admit that's pretty cool.
