Welcome aboard, PINGEE #679.

Whatever was blanked out cost $825.00

I thought so also at first, but that is the running total. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Things have taken so many twists and turns, I don't know what to think about Undie's "friend" publishing those records. Would HIPAA laws prevent one of us from contacting Swedish Medical Center, pointing them to that website, and asking them if those records are authentic?

[CAluvdubya]

It's not the running balance, it's the patient balance (ie: after insurance, which Undie does not have) for each procudure or test.

[Jacktown]

Thanks. May I say, you are very talented. I get hysterical
sometimes.

Went back and looked at it closer, I stand self corrected, it is $825.

This very could be the removal of the gall bladder.

That is not a running total. The only total given is at the bottom, $1975. If you add up all the figures, that is what you get. Most of them are $20 or so except for the last two, $825 and $832. That makes up the bulk of the $1975 total.

To cheap for surgery. No anethesiologist charge which would be needed. (unless it's on a seperate invoice). Maybe pathology charge though?

[PJ-Comix]

You're welcome... And tell that to Mary Matalin if you ever see her.

They were posted on DU first. In a Will Pitt Post from some time ago.... when questions were asked more than 2 months ago.

At the hospital where my girlfriend works the anethesiologist is on another bill.

[ReeWalker]

Maybe pathology charge though?

Could it be a biopsy? I'm not medical so I maybe using the wrong word.

[CAluvdubya]

That's what I thought. (trying to remember my own billing info). If I was a pathology charge that would indicate a surgery of some sort. Maybe that is why it is redacted? Again, not sure if even that would be on a different invoice.

[PJ-Comix]

Well, gotta split out until late this afternoon. Who knows what else this will lead to by then? Hey, I woke up this morning to find out Bev Harris herself made several posts on this thread PLUS txradioguy posted some documents about Andy's stay at the Swedish hospital.

This saga CONTINUES to take incredible twists and turns. Fasten your seat belts! You never now when this journey takes an unexpected turn or speeds up.

[Jacktown]

Well,I'm a cajun from Louisiana, and I have met
her husband. You just never know.

[MisterRepublican]

Interesting. I had wondered about David Allen of the other BBV. He was the co-author of the original BBV book and I have to wonder what the story is about the subsequent publishing of the 2nd BBV book without David Allen. Falling out between the two?

Also of note is his is one of the earliest "Help Andy" posts on the timeline.

This saga CONTINUES to take incredible twists and turns.

The last time I had an experience with this many twists and turns was in college when I bedded one of the girls on the gymnastics team!

[CAluvdubya]

Could it be a biopsy?

Something on that order maybe. It has to indicate he had something done and would negate some of Undie's other claims. If it's a pathology charge something had to be tested and Undie nor anyone else has claimed that (that I know of).

It it curious that it is the only procedure or test that was blocked out. Why?

[jennyjenny]

I wonder why Swedish Medical Center sometimes bills him as W. Andrew Stephenson and sometimes Andrew W. Stephenson. Typo, I guess.

[SoothingDave]

Who knows? Maybe W Stephenson is a relative? Once the scam is suspected, everything is suspicious.

What was the redacted $825 procedure?
