  • Check with the billing/coding department of the hospital as well, they might have been the ones who fucked up.

    They will invariably say that it’s impossible for them to have made a mistake. It would take them 5 minutes to look it up, but the people in billing departments would rather spend 40 minutes on the phone telling you it’s not possible than the 5 minutes it would take them to discover that it’s exactly what happened.

    Request that the billing department print a copy and send it to you for records. This is the only way I’ve ever seen people actually get them to check. You’ll almost certainly need the information in order to successfully appeal with UHC even if the hospital did everything right.







  • I remember there was a bit of pushback at the time. I saw an elderly Walmart employee handing out masks and taking temperatures at the entrance. Some chud refused to have his temperature taken or put on a mask, and he shoved the old man to the ground then tried to run into the store.

    He ran head first into the turned-off sliding doors and another employee repeatedly set him straight with a Wiffle bat until he eventually stopped getting back up and trying to enter the store. Bunch of people in line kept kicking him until he eventually picked up his maga hat and left.

    I think this is where we went wrong. Every service employee should have the unilateral right to violently bounce someone for being an asshole, and everyone around them should help.
