Good morning all, another 109 day yesterday, dropping just a bit today but won't be at normal levels until the end of next week.
Tom, I'm with you on billing, I'm still waiting for a refund on a urgent care visit for my wife in December. They keep using the wrong billing code to the insurance company, and it keeps getting denied.
Speaking of billing, I have a word of caution. A few days ago I got a "invoice due" email from the care facility that my wife is in. It came as a link with a familiar name, not an attachment, but since this is the first one I've gotten from them, I just clicked on the link thinking that it was their way of presenting the bill. My browser wouldn't open the link saying that they could not authenticate the data, so I called the facility. No, that's not how they bill, no, they haven't sent this month's billing out yet, and no, that email is not from them. A phishing scam at its worse, but thanks to my browser, I was saved from who knows what. I'm extraordinarily cautious, but I could have gotten caught up in this considering who I thought sent it and was expecting a bill from them about this time anyway.
That's my story for today, be careful and stay safe....
