Insurance Bitch

So yesterday afternoon the insurance lady from my RE's office called to inform me that I owe them $300 in co-pays and need to bring that payment in full to my appointment today.

First of all, the damn receptionists are always "on break" and cannot accept a co-pay, how is that my problem? They have been billing us which is fine with me...mail me a bill and I mail you $30 bucks. I like this method better anyways, since we DO have insurance coverage I am sure it has already gone through my insurance and that I do owe the money.

So I write them a check for $300 all the while bitching that you could give more then a days notice and I can't believe I even owe that much (if you can't tell I am just a PEACH lately!). Now if we owe the money I have no problem paying it, but Brian handles the finances, and the money in MY checking account right now is for Christmas shopping and getting through life until he's back in town. I don't like to use my credit card for stuff like this either, which I could have...but my point is that they shoudl not ambush you the day before coming in with this crap!

An hour after I get home the receptionist who unfortunately felt my wrath (I did apologize to her I know it wasn't HER fault) called to tell me that she was looking at my account and United Healthcare just paid on a large bunch of claims. Well appointments that were only lab/us monitoring...don't have a co-pay! So now I have a $300 credit on my account. Since they are an Aurora clinic who knows when I will ever see that $300!! Especially now that Logan's new pediatrician is affiliated with Columbia-St. Marys and our doc as well, so it's not even like I could just not pay co-pays for 4 years and work it off. I used to work for Aurora I know they are behind and dumb! I've talked to Brian about if this IVF worked going back to my old OB/GYN and delivering at St Marys (I like my doc who handled Lo's pregnancy, but he has "partners" now and who knows who I will see). I think this seals the deal for me!

Can i please just be a crazy, hormonal bitch on my own for the next 6 days? Can nobody provoke me?
