The Benefits of Being Mean and Nasty

My heart procedure has lead to a lot of interaction with medical billers. Dealing with me may have some of them considering career changes.

Had one chirpy thing who couldn't grasp she was using the wrong procedures. During her third call to me, we had this conversation.

  "Mr WSF, the bill is only $419.22. Can't you just pay it"?

   WSF. "Can't you pull your head out of your ass and find someone to show you how to bill the insurance company"?

Yesterday's mail had a notice from the insurance carrier that the doctor was paid.

Should I bill the doctor for my time instructing his staff?

And then refer them to a collection agency when they don't pay.

Absolutely. It would be entertaining.
