I mean they should have to bill you within a certain time frame or forget it (Dad once took a phone call at his mom's for a bill for his brother's birth...21 years after the fact) In trying to figure out the weird amount the insurance paid an ambulance service (and I'm glad I called because they had tricks to potentially decrease the amount owed which they thought was EXCESSIVE and it was 640$ to go 3 miles).

I said something about being life flighted and not seeing that EOB. The agent was stunned. What are you talking about? She looks. THERE IS NO BILL. Now I'm not about to tell the company (not that I know who it is anyhow) but it's four months after the fact and they haven't even sent in a bill. After 6 months they shouldn't be allowed to. How can I budget for anything if I could have this potentially huge bill coming my way. I mean if one ambulance wanted that much to go 3 miles imagine what they want for a helicopter to go 100 miles.

We also found (finally) the GOOD estim unit. It shocks like a damn electric eel. It's strong enough to REHAB my sad quads. I am happy.

Absolutely agree!! How do we make this happen?! I got a bill from my eye-doc place for a difference in copay that was owed from 02-2018!!! I had gone to their office twice after that, in Dec 2020 was the last visit and they did not bill me then!! And got a bill in the mail that it was overdue and would be sent to the collectors if unpaid!!! Like, WTF?! Called and gave them a polite earful. Ugh. Thankfully it was $5 and then I thought of all the others who get bigger bills!! sigh. Yes, 6 months. Maybe 8 months if a pandemic. But there should be a limit.

Did you read the news though that during the pandemic the insurance companies were going back and collecting unpaid bills more aggressively?! sigh. Our system is so messed up.

I continue to be stunned by everything you're going through with this situation. It has certainly been a clusterfuck since the beginning and that seems to not being going to end any time soon.

E-Stim...
