Jethrodull Posts: 81 Incept: 2008-02-25 North Texas	My wife recently went to the doctor for checking up on a condition she has. They wanted her to get lab work done to do a blood profile. We go the lab bill today - charges total $767. Insurance adjustment was -$761.51. We owe $5.49!! How freakin crazy is that!! If we didn't have the insurance company adjusting our bill, we'd have to pay $767!!!! J 2012-03-01 22:39:47 Permalink

The ones I'm familiar with have had adjustments only within the 25-75 per cent range. The system is certainly insane. ---------- ". . . the Constitution has died, the economy welters in irreversible decline, we have perpetual war, all power lies in the hands of the executive, the police are supreme, and a surveillance beyond Orwell’s imaginings falls into place." - Fred Reed 2012-03-02 00:51:15 Permalink
