[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 528629"] Thank you so much for getting it! I am so frustrated!! I will definitely get angry with them...but will likely delay it for a few months. I will be needing a lot of appointments in the next few months and I don't want to rock the boat. I will need full cooperation if I want/need plastic surgery to correct the damage from that stupid flying umbrella (which broke my nose in 3 places!) I don't want to cut off my nose (ha!) to spite my face at this point. LOL And the letter I sent (to both the practice and the billing office) was very strongly worded - in fact I emphatically stated that "I am not my husband's chattel" so hopefully they get the point. And I really like the doctors in my practice, I totally think this is their stupid billing office - I've had issues with them before. The billing errors make me mad too. Last month - a related office (radiology-same parent hospital but different practice) billed the WRONG insurance company for my mammo and then tried to collect from me. I had a testy message on my vm when I got back from vacation, and when I called them -- they had figured out the error -- and were abrupt and said "we fixed it". Not even a thank you for getting in touch. It bugs me because I know there are people - like my mom - who get a bill and assume it must be right and then pay it. I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN ACCOUNTING OFFICES ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE! [/QUOTE]
