I am so sick of dealing with the stupid hospital/clinic about bills! HellO morons! I have insurance people. Remember when I had to come in for a special pre-registration appointment and I filled out a bunch of forms and you yahoos copied my insurance cards? Huh? Why is this so hard for you to keep straight?
A little background: DH has insurance through his employer, I have primary insurance through my employer, and secondary through his (they pick up anything my crappy insurance denies.) Willa is under his (because he doesn't pay for it; mine is not free.) Or so we thought. Her name is listed on the card. When we got our new cards, we went to the billing office and they made copies.
Now, onto the fun part. About a week or so ago I got a bill for over $10,000 for prenatal
appointments and the birth. The had been trying to bill DH's insurance for everything. I called and straightened everything out, again.
Today we got a call saying our insurance was denying every bill for
Willa. I had to call DH's insurance to see what the problem is. They said that because of some stupid-a** rule in WI, Willa has to be primary under MY insurance because my birthday is earlier in the year than DH's. What?! That's the stupidest rule I've ever heard of. I don't understand why we can't choose which insurance our child is covered by. Has anyone else ever heard of that? Now I have to find out how much extra a month is going to be taken out of my paycheck. I'm so ticked! I so cannot afford this. My hours are being cut to 30/week starting in August, so that's already a 25% cut in pay.
