The more of the costs I see the more I want to rant. Thank goodness for insurance this time. The first time around I had none to start with and then had to fight mine every step of the way. I keep everything in a 3 ring binder and then file the bills behind the insurance statement so I can make sure that everything is getting taken care of. I still get new bills and currently have 3 things going through the appeal process. One of them being the bill for the pathologist's service while I was hospitalized. It must be normal for it to be denied since the pathologist's office sent me a letter and some pre-printed material to send with my appeal. I am afraid to total them all up, it would probably send me to the emergency room.
