Don't mess with the pregnant hormonal lady

Don't mess with me, especially, especially, especially if I know I'm right and know you are an idiot. Tuesday I got a call from my OB/GYN's office reminding me of my appointment for Wednesday and to inform me that a balance of 65.00 would need to be paid at time of service. My husband's company has provided us with a Flexible Spending Account with his insurance so I knew she was wrong. So I asked if I could speak with the biller because I have had trouble with her in the past.

She gets on with total attitude, because the receptionist told her I wanted to speak with her because I have problems with her billing and she was offended by this statement. HAHAHAHA. I tried to explain to her I doubt I owed anything and I was hesitant to pay this bill because last time she told me I owed $100 which I paid, she then had to reimburse me. She then told me that perhaps I needed to call my husband's company and ask them to explain to me how insurance works because obviously I didn't understand. I quickly laughed at her and told her to keep her insults to herself because after working HR for a number of years, I understand perfectly how insurance works. I then told her, I was going to call my insurance company and check with them because obviously there's a problem here. Then I asked her, "Are you sure you put the claim through? Because last time I called them about that $100 I was informed you never even tried to get approval from my insurance company before you charged me. I just want to make sure this isn't happening again." She didn't like that. I don't care, I KNEW she was wrong.

So when I arrived at my Doctor's appointment yesterday, no one asked me for payment, nor did I offer to make any. Today, I got on the phone with my insurance. Not only had they paid their portion, but then paid the remaining balance from our FSA. He then proceeded to give me the check number and the dates it was issued and cashed. HAHAHAHA. I had to call the doctor's office then and give her this information. I couldn't help myself...so I suggested that perhaps she might want to call my insurance company and ask them how insurance works because obviously she didn't understand.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Dude, for a pregnant lady, you have a lot of BALLS. Hahaha!!! I love your personality, because you have what I lack--confidence! Good for you for knowing what's right and not doubting yourself. And seriously... did you really tell her to call your insurance company and ask them how insurance works?? Because then you're my hero.
