Since I was hospitalized in February I have been fighting with the insurance company to pay my medical bills to no avail. I had been calling every day and talking with "Jim" the insurance guy and really feeling like I was losing this major battle. Yesterday I awoke just like every morning and went down stairs to start the round of calls I would have to make that day to see if anything was being done. *Keep in mind this is more than 5 months later and the hospitals wanted their money...
I called my mom and discussed my options, my grandma called and I had another 'vent session', I talked to Colby in tears because I felt like I was at the end of my rope. We had just received another 500.00 bill to be paid upon receipt. One of those. I didn't know what we were going to do. Here I am looking for a new job in a new place, away from family and "Jose" from St. Joseph hospital wants his money, BUT "JIM" from insurance is giving him the finger and I'm trying to run intercept.
Well, I had just sat down to start filling out the complaint form against the insurance company, fully intent on running them into the ground... when Jim called,
JIM: "Hiiiii this is Jim (in a nasal-y voice) and I wanted to let you know that I did receive your fax and wanted to let you know that the claims department decided to pay 100%."
Just like that. Very nonchalant, like this life changing event didn't just take place in his little mind.
ME: "WHAT?! SHUT UP! Are you serious JIM!"
JIM: "Yeah. It should be going through sometime next week."
ME: "I LOVE YOU JIM! MY HUSBAND LOVES YOU JIM!"
JIM: "That's quite alright Ma'am"
That insurance company doesn't know how close that really was....Good job Jim, you saved your company.
Yeeessssssssssssssssssssssss!
