As I said to Holly just now...
holy hott fuck damn shit wooooooooo
heh. Ok. And now to explain that comment.
So I posted (ok many times) about issues with insurance after my bike wreck. And in particular, about a nice $5000, yes, that is 3 0's, bill for the part of the airlifting my work health insurance wouldn't cover. And about my debate: do I send my old Kaiser info, which might be expired/cancelled? Do I just suck it up and pay it? Do I talk to my ex-stepdad, who I'm not on really any terms at all with (I see him occasionally, and we are civil, but that's about it)?
So I ended up calling Kaiser and finding out that they still have me in their system as completely covered and all that (my ex-stepdad was a doc for them so our coverage when I was covered through his plan really couldn't have been any better). So I sent their info to the airlifter people earlier this year.
I just got an email.
Kylie,
I just discovered that you suffered in a serious accident last year. I received a message from Kaiser Health Plan that the air flight claim was paid in full. The letter was a real shock and I assumed incorrectly that someone had stolen your card and had used it fraudulently. I just emailed your mom and she told me that the claim was real, but that you fully recovered.
This is the first I heard about it. I'm completely happy that you fully recovered, and stunned that such a serious accident was not mentioned to me. Whatever... this note to just to say I'm glad this is past history and that you're well.
Gary
My ex-stepdad's name is Gary. Oh and the email was sent to my old address, as I guess he never got the new one...
I'm kinda a bad person, cause my first reaction was "woooo! They covered it all!" and my second was "oh maybe I should have mentioned it when I saw him at Christmas" and my third was "I guess I'm gonna give the doc who sent me to collections there info instead of sucking it up and paying the last $500 my insurance didn't cover." And then back to "ok, I should email Gary or something (but first I shall update LJ ;-)...)"
But yes, considering how ass-y the start of my day has been, this was very very welcome news. And is a fairly decently large monitary worry lifted from my shoulders. So right now, I have happy excited butterflies in my tummy. It's awesome =D
