To Hoag Hospital and my insurer

[substitute]

Fuck you.

I obtained medical care fully covered under my insurance plan. You, the insurer, made up insane reasons why you needed unavailable additional information to pay the claim. You, Hoag, dropped the ball. Now you, Hoag, have sold the $280 debt to a collection agency instead of collecting it from the insurer.

I pay my premiums and give you the card for a fucking reason. Do not trash my credit rating because some of you are dishonest and others of you are lazy.

Fuck you.

On the phone: “We just bill the insurance and if it is rejected it is your responsibility.”

This after the nurse said that California law requires the insurer to pay.

i had this problem too! it seems real common! i called my insurance company and made them do a three-way w/ the hospital. it was messy because it's hard enough to get schtupped by one person you don't like, but then two...? anyway, the upshot was i got the hospital to admit they were wrong, they dropped the whole thing, and when they tried the same thing one month later, i called the same biller and reminded her of our intimate three-way experience and she pretty much just deleted all outstanding bills i had.
