my day

[leahcaR]

...my day started out with knowing I had to go to a damn yearly GYN appointment.  I hate those things...and honestly Ive skipped a few years for my dislike of them (which I know is pretty dumb) 

 

before that I logged into these lovely places.  I felt the need to stick up for a friend and ask for some answers because honestly if I am being duped I'd like to know... I felt attacked a couple times and had friendly conversations with a few.  maybe that was a mistake for today because today was super stressful and I knew it was going to be.  and that's all I'll say about that stress.  

 

But if we start at the beginning at about 7am I had a knock on my door from a sheriff... serving me fu**** papers.  my sleepy eyed self had no idea why I would ever be served papers for anything let alone have any kind of law officer at my door... I am not on any radar of breaking laws... as I read through these several papers I see that I have a court date and am being sued for some freaking doctor bills I didnt know about from the last few years?? ok... so add that to the list of junk I have to do with my day off today.  EFF... 

 

go to doctor...super uncomfortable as always.  still thinking about how Im going to have to go ream some billing people or insurance people after this lady gets away from my hoo-haa... but (and without getting into too much detail) she thought something weird with my fun bags and started freaking me out... then acts like shes not worried...then changes her mind again and tells me I have to go to the doctor in a week again...doesn't really tell me anything that would be useful to me... or anything I understood to be honest... so made appointment for that in a week.  I am sure nothing is wrong because everything I read says even someone in their upper 20's isn't likely to have any serious problems like that but I do know anything is a possibility. I'm assuming its fine since it was a "go to a doctor in a week" type thing.

 

Anyway...made that appt for a week from today... then spent God only knows how many hours going here and there all across town to figure out why this attorney is sending me papers saying I have a court date and owe over 700 dollars.... no one at hospital/doctor billing area will help because the law office has all of it now ...the most they could do was give me my records that I asked for but no biling information.  So I had to then hours later pull up stuff on my insurance website and call them ....(dont know how many phone calls I had to make today) only to find out the doctor/hospital had been coding it all wrong a few years and saying my doctor office visits were emergency room visits! and when I sit there at the office and was paying my deductibles every time I really wasn't... so all this racked up... have no idea why I did not get notified by mail or phone or for crying out loud one of the many times I was in the doctors office... so now I have to call the lawyer person tomorrow and fight about how it was billed incorrectly and their amount is completely wrong and they need to figure it out.  

 

I dont know...this is exhausting... and here I thought I was just going to go to that stupid appt at 10 and then have the rest of the day off to myself.  yeah right.   :rolleyes: I'm pissed.

Hi Rachael,

 

Sorry about your day sounds absolutely- hopefully all will work out with doctor and lawyer since you found out it is a billing error

And hopefully a smile with a funny OB/GYN story:

 

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist late in the week.

 

Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor’s office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 am.

 

The trip to his office took about thirty-five minutes, so I didn’t have an time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn’t going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable.

 

I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, grabbed some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

 

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I’m sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.

 

I was a little surprised when the doctor said, “My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?” I didn’t respond.

 

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.

 

The rest of the day was normal: some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?” I told her to get another one from the cupboard.

 

She replied, “No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”

Rachael,

Sorry your day was crappy.  Nice job though, going through it without smoking.  Here's to tomorrow, may it be a better day for you!

[babs609]

[Markus]

That's a gruesome day alright. Damn!

Rachael...

 

I am so sorry about your day.  Try not to stress too much.  At my last visit to the OBGYN, I also had concerns...but everything came back ok.  And when I went last year, I kept getting bills for the same amount.  I thought I had already paid it and called the doctor's office to see if I had to pay more.  She told me to ignore the bill.  Then I started getting calls from a creditor.  Turns out we were both talking about different bills for the same visit that were the same amount.  I was so mad that I had to pay that much again! I hope you can get all of your billing info worked out.  It sounds to me like it's not your fault, especially if you have not received any mail or phone calls.  That's crazy!

[BAT]

Hey Rachael,  . … Stay positive, tomorrows a new day.  :)

[leahcaR]

yes it is crazy...but they are serious and there is a court date and I see where they charged me incorrectly but didnt take that amount from me anyway.. idk all I know is I have a few days to get them to fix most of this.  

[leahcaR]

thanks for the kind replies all

[Colleen]

thanks for the kind replies all

Rachael.

It's not a fix, but in the past I have worked in collections, not medical, but still.  There are certain laws that need to be followed.  They may have filed suit, but it is a long way off from any action that can be taken against you.  The most important thing, if there is a court date, no matter what you have to attend.  If not, a default judgement can be filed.  A lot of these debt collecting law firms depend on you not to answer a summons or attend a hearing.  ((((Rachael))))

[jimmy]

((((((((( rachael)))))))) sorry your going through this praying all will be  ok   

[JackiMac]

Hi Rachael hope you get everything sorted out ok, and your results will be ok hugs xx
