 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.
