A conversation with the doctor’s office this morning
“Doctor’s office.”
“Hi, this is Meryl Yourish. Say, remember when you guys set me up with someone that your office works with who was going to contact my insurance company and make sure that I could get that MRI approved without getting a surprise bill of several thousand dollars somewhere down the line?”
“Yes.”
“Surprise!”

Do you or the doctor’s office have written approval confirmation from the insurance company? Or does someone have an approval number for the MRI?

Yeah, I’m not worried about it. I just found it extremely annoying that I went through all the right motions and still got notification that I’m responsible for a megabill that’s supposed to be covered under my insurance.
I was rather peeved on Tuesday night, though, when I got the mail. Lucky for the doctor’s office it was too late for me to call, because the top of my head blew off.
