>Months long waitlists and clowns that can't even get billing right the first few times I've been getting bloodwork done at my physician's office for two years and Labcorp started sending me bills again. Same insurance, but they just randomly stopped filing with them until I spent long enough on the phone for a few of my hairs to grey. When I was younger, I got a nasty infection after my wisdom teeth were removed. The ER bill, which was close to $5k for a doctor to look at me for roughly 5 minutes and write me a prescription for antibiotics and some pain meds, bounced between health and dental insurance for months, both saying the other should pay for it, before they kicked the can to my parents. My mom had connections in the hospital's administration, so she was able to get it coded properly for health insurance to pay it. But I am probably the only person in this thread who can say "my mom is on a first-name basis with the people who can get billing issues resolved by the next day." Everyone else gets to sit on the phone for hours trying to sort it out, hoping that insurance will show mercy or that the hospital will bother recoding, or at least give them a bill they can stomach.
