Sitting here on the verge of tears because I just opened a second letter from the hospital. The ER bill's now up to $2041.80, with the possibility of more charges on the way
( Read more... )
Some of that seems kinda fishy, if you didn't have surgery you probably didn't have an anesthesiologist (And probably won't get a bill) and they're tossing that in there to overbill you. If you had xrays you probably will get a few hundred more from the radiologist. From what I've read you can call the hospital billing department and inquire about these issues, and request a detailled audit of the services performed and what was done if you don't understand something or it isn't expanded upon in detail on the bill. You'd want to remember what you had done, and most of the time they are bastards and will overcharge you. At the very least work out some kind of payment plan with them if you haven't already

Gonna hafta check on that- if I can manage to pay even a little less, then I oughta explore every option.
By the way, we went and obtained some ginger root.. Don't have a juicer, but fer now we're cutting it up and brewing it in a tea. It makes fer a pretty potent flavor!!
Yea, I'd imagine, what did the site say like a tablespoon tasted like 200 proof? Maybe it'll still make you feel better as a tea if you drink enough. Better than meds if it does, thats for sure.
Grrrowl.. Yeah... Well, since I'm finally employed, in three months (uggh!!) I will have some benefits. Sucks though, that that won't do anything to ease the blow of this bill.
You've probably seen my posts elsewhere on the subject. They contain mostly exclamation points, though they're spiced up with a few question marks, for good measure.

Well, I'm warning you it might take a little while, but I -will- when I'm in a position to send, even if all it's good for by then (because fingers crossed you get the bill dealt with early) is BCK expenses :) *snugs*
Jeezus that's f'd up!! I'm still living paycheck to paycheck trying to quell my own ferocious debt or I'd send you some benjamins. God DAMN!!
I decided that I AM going to go back to Ninja training starting next Tuesday after talking with Sensei today. He was asking about you and was curious about what you've been up to, and I told him you said HI. :)
Do you want me to tell the guys at the dojo about Blue Crash Kit? I'm sure they'll be curious, but I wanted to know if you'd be cool with that. I'm sure they'll be impressed by the ninja vs. zombie turkey battle, but I wanted it to be your call.
Are there any dojos in Kansas? I hope so. Good luck tackling those bills, and if I hit the lottery I'll send a chunk your way. ;)
GRRRrrr.... It f'n figures that duiring the ONE five-month window in which I am uninsured, that this shit'd go down. How frustrating. Mrow.. and I don't expect anything from anyone.. The fact that people have donated over $500 already though, through the web site, simply boggles my mind.
Prrrii-- awww, yeah- I says hi to the whole Ninja crew!! I sure do miss that place. Feel free to share the comic with 'em- we're always happy fer new readers if we can get 'em, and plus I've nothing to hide. And I'm gonna hafta look and see if there're dojos here. Although if I asked nicley, Rob'd train me fer free- heh heh heh.
