Amazing how much paper work is generated by visiting doctors. I’m mad at charley myself. Mad enough that I’m going to kill him. Fight’s on, we are winning, charley is dying left and right.
So now, yesterday, I get more paperwork in the mail. I get more paperwork than bills and junk mail combined now. But this one? It’s special!
Return address is Customer Care Center. Normally that alone is good enough to trigger file 13 but a second glance is at the postage, it’s first class!
Whoa thar hoss, this might some kind of customer service survey and I’m all like, members of the kill charley coalition gets all the perks and atta boys that I can throw at em. Lets’ rip this thing open and get to checking exceeds expectations check boxes.
No wait, the company is something called Meridian, a national subrogation vendor. For the uninitiated, that’s a fancy name for a cesspool of lawyers, one that sues other parties to special events. Apologies to the lawyers on the kill charley team, they are non-cesspool varieties.
Anyway, these guys get involved in events like when you break your leg at a buddy’s house, they want to sue your buddy because he has insurance. Seems like insurance pays a claim but they want to get the money from some one else.
QOUTE “The nature of services rendered on the date noted on the attached questionnaire indicates an accident may have occurred.” And a bit later this gem, “…help determine if others may be responsible for your medical bills.”
The service in question? it was the first scan to get a look at charley. The start of the 75K+ bill trail, I can’t wait to see how they pull this one off. Sue the bastard! I want some money for pain and suffering, but not to much, only a mill or two, I’m not greedy.
But overall – I like the idea, let's sic some junk yard dogs on charley, where is that number for “the hammer”, Jim Adler?
Laissez les bons temps rouler
questions, we got questions....
ReplyDeletehow does the cesspool get your medical records?
is your medical insurer forwarding them to have the cesspool initiate a chase?
doesn't your medical insurer understand what the first scan was for?
is anyone in that loop actually thinking or is it just one giant fishing trip?
and if they only knew the kind of luck you have with fishing trips they wouldn't be bothering.
perhaps our big sister can illuminate us on the mechanics of the thought processes employed by officers of the court.......
Oh my gosh! I got one several of those letters after Victoria started having trouble with her shunt and was getting a CatScan every 6 weeks. After about the 3rd one that I sent back saying there was no accident, they finally quit sending them.
