med bills are wack. my gyn (who is TERRIBLE about sending bills) told me i owed them $65 for an expense from last year. "we aren't sure why it wasn't covered. you should look into that" uh it wasnt covered cause you make me come here every 6 months and the insurance only covers one visit a year, fools. good luck figuring out the billing :p

Dentist anger building. My insurance company has been perfectly reasonable about this all, and their customer people respectful and such (once getting through the 400 automated messages). But my dentist office has been a load of assholes! Yelling at me. Needless to say I have cancelled all future appointments with them. But I am still fighting tooth and nail. I am not going to pay them for this. No matter what anyone says.
