“Oh What Fresh Hell is This?”
My personal record is nine bills for the same, minor urgentcare visit.
Things I’ve learned: It’s not your provider’s job to deal with insurance, it’s yours. Don’t pay outright1. You’ll keep getting clobbered until every single service provider has billed you. Call them whenever you get billed. Be polite. Request a proper itemized statement with as much detail as possible. Takes a while for things to catch up.
This is what you are to do with the limited time you have on this planet. Make sure you enjoy the Free Market ♥️
As of now at least, your credit won’t be affected by bills smaller than $500.↩︎
