Health Insurance Gripe

Unbelievable. We get a call from the hospital’s finance office asking how we want to pay and if I am outpatient or inpatient (it’s outpatient, unless there is a problem). Well, from what we understand, insurance was supposed to pay for the whole deal. According to the hospital, this is the first time an HMO has ever not paid for the whole thing. Go figure.
We call the insurance and the popular answer to our questions is… <drum roll> “I don’t know.”
Just what I need… another roadblock to a stressful and difficult year (besides the birth of kid #3, of course).
Thanks for letting me blow off steam here. I cussed while writing this, but this is a G-rated blog…
