OK, so it's been a month since I got the kidney stones and a worse pain has started. The BILLS! Ambulance ride for 1.5 miles = $591! $195 for the doctor and get this $3500 for the hospital bill which was denied by my insurance company as they are saying it was work related!!!!
How the hell is a kidney stone work related??
Yeah, they took me from work in an ambulance but how does work relate to my kidneys? Pissed off a lot at work, maybe?
Now I get to fight with them about trying to get them to pay. I did tell the ambulance people that I had lifted something heavy at work that morning but that was a full two or so hours before I started getting the pain.
Do I have a leg to stand on with this or am I screwed?? The hospital treated me great while I was there but the whole time I am thinking to myself, damn, it's a good thing I have health care coverage, what would someone without coverage do?
I only used a couple of my pain meds during that whole ordeal so if it happens again I will get my ass home and deal with the pain there.
