The final surgery has been scheduled for August 10. Meanwhile, there is the seemingly unending battle with my insurance company to pay for all of this. Plus, my surgeon's office sent me to collections because the battle with the insurance company was taking too long. So I paid the doctor off and now the battle includes trying to get a reimbursement for a claim that was processed incorrectly.
The hospital where I had my surgery lost my last two payments totaling $2,000 so they sent me to collections as well. It apparently makes no difference that I have sent them copies of the canceled checks. I don't deny that I owe them the money but I'm not going to pay them twice. It gives me a great deal of stress and opening the mail brings me no joy.
On the other hand, I'm blessed to have $2,000. I could make all this stress go away by giving them the money and then just hope that some day they'll figure it out and send me a refund with a sincere apology. BWAH HA HA.
I just hope they don't plan to blackmail me into giving them more money by holding up my next surgery. I want to get this over with.
