Major heart attack stuff!
Guys, please forgive me, I just need to vent a little bit. I got a letter from Norton Hospital yesterday stating that Medicare had refused a claim and that I needed to get in touch with them to straighten it out or I'd be responsible for the full amount of the cost. The way they worded the letter I got the feeling that the hospital had screwed up when they submitted it. Anthem is my primary insurance because Lee still works and Medicare is my secondary. They’ve messed that up before.
My feet have been pretty painful last night so I decided to dig around on Anthem to see if I could find the claim they were talking about. There's a claim listed for $50,000, which I assume are my chemotherapy drugs. It says they'd pay $261 and my responsibility is $49,586.18! If that isn’t a truly frightening number I don’t know what is.
So, on Monday I have to call billing at Norton to get them to resubmit the bill correctly and then hold my breath to see what my actual responsibility for the bill becomes then. I sure don’t need this added stress right now. It’s already been a hard week just from the fatigue and pain from the neuropathy. In between times I’ve been trying my best to go through things to sell. I have to, I’ve got about $800 in utilities I need to pay out this week.
I’m hoping to get some toys listed for sale today. I’m also going to repost an updated jewelry sale, too. After that I'll be posting comics. I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to get some stuff sold, which would be a huge help. Wish me luck!
*hugs*
