I fell in PISS at the VA Hospital & they want to be paid

[corarose]

They checked me out for a concussion and I didn't have one. I told them I didn't want to be checked but they insisted on it anyway.

Now, I am getting a bill for close to $1,000.00 bucks for x-rays and everything and they told me that it would be written off.

I would have given them my Medicare Card but they said that they didn't need it that I wouldn't be charged.

I am being charged for their carelessness of leaving urine on the floor in their Chicago Hospitals floor when I went to visit my Dad.

1. Just

take your Medicare card down there and get them to make a copy of it, don't worry, Medicare will back date it even if they have too.

2. Do you know the worse part about it

I had to go home with urine all over the back of my clothes.
My Dad was freaking out because I went downstairs to buy him a newspaper and I didn't come back and he had my purse. He thought that something happened to me and it did but he thought that a nut grabbed me.

3. If they insisted on the x-rays

I'd insist they eat the bill. Failing that, they're welcome to stick it in a different orifice altogether.

4. Contact a lawyer

By your account, they should be paying YOU!

Good luck!

[ProudGerman]

5. Correction

paying you BIG!

6. Sue the bastards!

:evilgrin:

7. I don't want a lawsuit

They shouldn't be sending me a GD bill but it is the Government and I should get some damn bucks out of them.

All I want is the bill paid.
