You Know What Stinks?

I'm sure many of you have had to deal with this as you have lost loved ones, but I had never thought of this aspect until this season of our life dealing with Seth's death.

What stinks is that you get bills from the hospital (and all those involved). Of course, this is just to be expected. It was sad the first time we got them, but now it is annoying and frustrating and even more sad. Our medical coverage (with Christian Care Medi-Share) is covering them. However, it takes a while sometimes for claims to be paid. In the meantime, we keep getting bills informing us if we don't pay they'll turn us over to collection, etc. I'm sure you've all dealt with similar situations with any number of medical bills. This always seems to be the case somehow... something was processed wrong, someone has the wrong info, etc., etc.

So... in order to stay in good standing, you make a phone call... and another... and another.

All in all, I have talked to kind people who seem to help me get things sorted out... again. But I just wish it would end!!

Can you say a prayer with me that the phone calls I made today will be the last phone calls I have to make regarding this? I just want to close this chapter of Seth's life. Will you also pray that the claims would be paid quickly so that we can stop receiving bills from the hospital, the doctor's office, and the pathology people?

This is not a money issue... it is a bureaucracy issue! I cannot even imagine if the government were involved! It would be MUCH worse! Actually, I don't have to imagine. We used to have our insurance through the government when Dano was in the Navy. It WAS worse! Okay, I didn't mean to turn political. I just wanted to vent & ask you to pray... this way I didn't have to call Dano at work or call my sisters!

Thanks for listening!
