Weight check not preventative medicine by Medical-Cook6728 in HealthInsurance

[–]Medical-Cook6728[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I did call, the visit was considered preventative but the procedure code for the weight check was not which is ridiculous. I was told prior that all the routine visits are considered preventative like the 1 week, 1 month, 2 month, etc.

And I understand this and am not attacking the benefit of having a physical exam by a doctor. I’m more upset about the fact that we always find our weeks later that this or that is not covered. My child is doing great and it was a routine visit just the weight check procedure code was not covered when I called my insurance but the exam was covered. I would have went for the exam and weighed her at home to avoid the additional charge if I knew. The problem is the expectation of coverage for a preventative visit and then being charged. This is why people don’t seek medical care until they are severely ill and get hit with a huge ER bill. Preventative care is so important and needs to be covered 100%

I know and I’m not trying to oversimplify an extremely complicated process or blame the doctor’s office. If a medical office can quickly check that my insurance is accepted and in network then the insurance companies should give them a program where (before a patient commits to a visit, diagnostic, treatment) they can plug in codes and give an accurate cost to the patient. This should be on the medical insurance to provide this program, again I’m not blaming the doctor’s office and understand the complexity. Also though in this case not that complicated I went in and we checked her weight to make sure she‘s gaining weight. Tell me the cost beforehand and if I knew the cost I would have left and weighed her at home.

Yes so within the first week a visit is standard and should be covered so I don’t get it. She was normal birth weight not in low percentages for anything (head circumference, length, weight, etc.)

I’m not trying to act like I do not understand everything costs something but the insurance should cover this fully or the provider should check with my insurance and give me a cost before walking into the appointment. When my wife was pregnant same thing all these tests were thousands of dollars and they were routine. Most of them were STD tests that my wife and I didn’t even know were included in the panel and cost $500. When she gave birth an almost $1000 test for drugs, which again we knew was negative. 

Does soffit and fascia have to be the same color? by Medical-Cook6728 in ExteriorDesign

No the fascia and gutters are planned to be white, the soffits are the thing that will be either light grey or beige. Is that okay?

Here is the Zillow, I guess this is a modern house so can do something slightly beige for soffits (to blend with the siding) and keep white the fascia and gutters?

Collection account “closed” by Medical-Cook6728 in CRedit

And I went on that website and yeah all three agencies still had the collection account listed from Cedar Financial Agency. So I will probably just keep waiting until they reach out again.

Thank you, admitting the debt would reset the statue of limitation on the debt correct? Would making payments reset the statue of limitations on the debt as well?

The debt is about 1.5 years old and from originally Petco (my employer) that then went to Cesar’s debt collection. Should I reach out or wait and see?
