And now for a small rant over the idiots in the billing department of my regular doctor’s office. 
Back in March I went to the doctor. I paid $19.80 (I was going to use X Y & Z, but it got too confusing 
) for my Medicare co-payment. A couple of weeks ago, I got a refund for $5.60 from the doctor’s office. I thought, “aha! They overcharged me” but didn’t think anything else about it. Then this past week I got the Medicare statement which said my portion should be $14.20. Which explained the refund. Then yesterday, I got a BILL from the doctor’s office for $14.20!!!! They are complete idiots!!! And I’m 99.9% sure they’re also the ones who screwed up my Medicare last year–which I’m still trying to get straightened out–by billing them for services and using my OLD insurance information.
Freakin’ morons.
And now we return you to your regularly scheduled blog. 
LOL. Typical.

Aggravating, isn’t it? I think they just try to complicate things till you pay them out of sheer frustration.

Well, these morons aren’t getting a dime from me. All they’re going to get is yelled at tomorrow.

I’m thinking instead of calling them I’ll write instead. I do much better with the written word (though you sometimes can’t tell that here
than I do orally. I can be a lot more politely snarky on paper. Plus I can send them copies of everything.

Argh, I have that same problem with my doctor and insurance. Actually the doctor is cool about it, the hospital is a pain though.
