Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC
They want me on a payment plan to pay the near-$5000 the surgery has become (thanks to some revisionist math on their behalf. Before when I called for an estimate, it was closer to $3850 total...)
But the payment plan will cover the balance. Casey the evil Compliance Coordinator of Doom wants me to put down $1500 CASH just to get through the door. Yeah, deposit my butt. They don't ask deposits of emergency cases or people with uh, what's that thing? Health insurance?
The $1500 deposit is to book the operating room only. I'd pay the balance in installments after the surgery is complete.
UNBELIEVABLE.
And so I've really, been *really* on edge, besides my back hurting and OH, YEAH, my pesky IBS stuff kicking at me as well. Arg.
Can someone send me a basket of puppies or something? A warm breeze and a rainbow? Or maybe some horrible ailment I can spread to Compliance A$$wipe the next time she calls me 3 times before 9am asking for cash buckets? Thanks a mil. Got to get here by Saturday or they're scratching my reservation.
