Nothing to do with flying, just need to vent some pent up tension. Late last year I had been billed by Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) to the tune of $600+. They billed me for a take-home test kit but hadn't bothered to mention the cost (as I had thought it was covered under insurance), and then they billed me for a follow-up, when the doctor's office staff hadn't even called me to let me know the results and there was no follow-up.
When I first got that bill I was so peeved. I had been getting the run around through the patient dispute system ... you can tell who writes their paychecks .
This has been going on for months. Finally, got so bloody sick of it I wrote the CEO of IHC directly last week. Honestly, I didn't think my letter would ever see his desk. Well, he talked to his people, and I just got a phone call today with profuse apologies from one of the VPs ... bill is wiped!
Not sure if there is a lesson to be had here, but I'm almost feeling spunky enough to go ahead and upgrade my Hero1 to maybe the Hero4 Silver. Maybe even take the wife out to dinner!
