Holy crap. I am in the process of "fighting" with insurance over meds we paid out of pocket even though they were supposed to cover it.. long story. We thought we hit a wall and we contacted one of the enforcement agencies. All of a sudden, we get an individual refund form and a place to mail it to. The amount was not astronomical ($1.5k), but not something I can just ignore. And that happens all over the country. Not everyone has my time to call, write and complain. Those are the moments I am ready to change the system. It is not really working for me. It is merely acceptable to a few.

yep. Dont even get me started on how many times I had to fight with the insurance/billing/admin departments to even understand why I received a bill and for what. They must have a team of smart cryptographers to generate those crazy bills and invoices /s

  And after you think you have it all figured and and properly paid, a new bill appears out of the blue 6 months after your visit.

My friends hired a consultant to reconcile pregnancy related bills coming from all angles from a half dozen entities. The consultant corrected things from over $17,000 to “only” four figures of copays and balance billing. That is nuts. The fact that a consultant with expertise in this “skill” exists and is required is also a sign of a supremely broken system.
