Dr. Office Bill

Hi Everyone,

I received a bill from my doctor’s office again, and it’s a whopper.

The bill is for about $189.00 for a standard office visit that

included an ekg, etc.. the office personel are so stupit, even my

dbf’s ex wife stopped going there because of the stupitidy of the

office personnel. the doctor is good, so i’m willing to put-up with

this. the bill said that my health insurance was not in effect. the

original number on my bcbs number that they had on file along with

the new one which i informed them at the office visit i just

mentioned, was the new bcbs policy number. i even faxed them a copy

of my insurance card from and back and they called me a few weeks ago

saying they received the fax. they were going to rebill everything

to the new number. now i get this bill saying the health insurance

wasn’t in effect. only this doctor’s office has had trouble getting

this straight. everyone else, has been fine. besides dropping this

doctor which i have no intentions of doing, what other course of

action do i have? their billing dept is even more ridicious than the

office staff are. any suggestions? i’m not paying this bill when

it’s their error and i have worked with them on it.

thank you for letting me vent.
