    Anyone who disagrees has never tried to pay for healthcare. Even if you have “good insurance” there’s always something stupid going on.

    Doctors have no idea how they get paid, and they pay another company to work with insurance companies. That other company is impossible to contact, so if there’s any issue the insurance company and the payment company blame each other. “Oh the insurance company rejected it incorrectly” or “the payment company coded it wrong.”

      Yea, I have 128k sitting above my head for almost a year now as the hospital and insurance talk. This was a surgery that was pre-authorized. They paid for everything else including the nursing facility I was in. The last part in the OR bill.
