5/13/24 - Update on My Husband

He didn't call me yesterday; so I don't know how his day went. I doubt there was much going on because there is no physical therapy on the weekends. I didn't hear from Lavanta on the Reconsideration. I don't have much faith in our winning this one but maybe I'll get a surprise! I am still trying to figure out where the $1,218 charge came from. The Business Office woman was so helpful. She said for me to go through the paperwork from the insurance company. So I went through a 2 inch stack of papers and only found one for $120. So then I went through 6 months worth of transactions on the insurance website and only found the one transaction for $120 (what we owe). Since the Business Office was of such little help, I found a number in Cincinnati which may be the Corporate Office. I will call their Billing Department and see if I can get a breakdown of the charges.. Thank you for your continued support, prayers and thoughts. Photo Credit: Pixabay

@LindaOHio You need an advocate or? Someone to help navigate the dark world of healthcare messes. I hope you can find out about the bill with no invoice. The sad thing is they don’t listen and do I ever understand about no one returning calls. So very frustrating!

Where did you see the $1218 charge? Did you get a bill?

@lovebuglena Nope. I'm going to have to get really firm with this lady in the Business Office. I need a breakdown of what these charges are for.

They sent a letter saying that we owed $1,218. No invoice.

I'm sorry he didn't call. I'm also sorry the insurance company hasn't answered yet. I hope you hear from them today.

It sounds like you don't owe $1218! Have you asked your insurance company if they would cover out-patient physical therapy and have someone come to your house to give it to your husband?

Yes. He can get 2 weeks of in-home PT when he comes home. After that he has to go to a facility for $40 per day.

I hope things work out. And I have my fingers crossed that you discover a flaw in what they are charging so that it is less.

I found nothing in hubby's stack of insurance transactions and nothing on the website that matches up with the $1,218.

Maybe when you chat with him today he will have wonderful news about how his walking went today. I hope that the insurance company can explain the charge.

He didn't have ANY PT because they are waiting to hear about the Reconsideration. I am furious! The rehab facility is the one that needs to explain why they charged us $1,218.

@MommyOfEli2013 It's really annoying. Why not let him stay until he's fit to come home?
