Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
It’s a gloomy, rainy day here. That won’t mean much to Moose but it’s not the norm in this neck of the woods.
In-laws finally got the refund from the hospital that did M-i-l’s bloodwork that was fully covered by insurance and should never have been billed. But it wasn’t too bad. It only took 6 months, a dozen phone calls, and intervention from a state rep.
I don’t want to believe they’ve decided that sending unnecessary bills to seniors and slow-walking refunds hoping they’ll die first has become a profit-center for them. But when they told me they had a backlog of refunds to process I had to wonder. How does a hospital get a backlog of refunds to process?
Anyway, on with the show. This was a bit of a surprise.

Sorry about your rain, but glad to hear about the refund. That gave me an idea. I think I need to find someone to help me retrieve that $500+ that Walgreen’s overcharged me and says they have no record of.
Yes. Insurance companies do that as standard practice. A friend in Vegas had kidney and other problems due to him working at the Nevada Test Site. The government kept dragging its heels on the class action suit hoping the folks would die off and they wouldn’t have to pay.
They finally settled up and my friend bought everything he could think of to make his life easier, even though he was going to dialysis three times a week. The government (you and I) would have been paying his medical expenses for a few more years. He was a stone’s throw away from a kidney transplant and was killed in a car accident. Even so, he was happy that the class action suit was settled.
