Norcal Gma 2Everyone who reads our toots know that we frequently use medical services.
Providence is our option for a doctor and hospital as well as any chance of seeing a specialist without going to San Francisco.
Much of our care flows through the VA.
A couple of months ago my husband went to his annual visit with the Providence primary care provider. They are old friends so they caught up for 15 minutes and said see you next year.
The $600 chat is usually covered between Medicare and our supplemental coverage so I was surprised to see a sort of threatening email and text saying that I have 20 days to give them my credit card for automatic payment for a seriously past due balance or they will proceed to next steps.
It took some digging but I finally got an itemized bill.
We owe a grand total of 79 cents.
I don't usually resort to profanity but WTF?
I hope people don't just hand them their card.
I put the change in a baggie and dropped it off.
A not happy customer.
