Once again, Emilie asked if 4:00 would work for me instead of 3. This worked out well because I then spent an hour on the phone with my health insurance company and a doctor's office, trying to figure out why I had believed this would be an "in network" visit ($25 copay) and it was processed/charged as out of network (and I was billed $500). The upshot of this is that (a) the doctor's office agreed to reduce their charge, and is sending an updated bill for $250; (b) I will be filing an appeal with the insurance company, though the person I spoke to didn't seem to think my chances were very good; and (c) I have told the doctor's office that I'm appealing, and it may take up to 45 days, and they are making a note of this and said they won't send the bill to a collection agency while I'm appealing. So that all took an hour, after which I had a late lunch, and some soothing conversation with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

cattitude, who has spent a lot of time this week buying and then doing stuff with a new fax machine/printer/copier/scanner that I will probably be the main user of. (The next step on that involves calling Verizon; wish me luck.) The errand took a little longer than I'd hoped, because the C train is infrequent, but was otherwise quite straightforward.
