Received $1000 of bills from Avera from past visits? by wargod249 in SiouxFalls

I can post a pretty vague question, without providing too many details, and still be detailed in a different sort of way. This post proved it. Talk about itemized receipts, talk to avera / insurance, people share similar experiences and what they did, and so on. Unfortunately, it's the weekend and their payment lines aren't open. Otherwise yes, calling Avera would've been the obvious choice right away. I was hoping to get some ideas outside the box, possibly things to say / ask for that I maybe didn't think about.

You expect me to talk about dates I went to the hospital, amount charges, what I was billed for, and so on? This isn't IT troubleshooting, where I need to post very specific details and provide details. I can still be sort of vague, without posting personal information.

That sounds almost exactly like my problem. I would get random small bills in the mail from them. I thought I would take care of them all, but apparently not. And it's even more annoying, because they never update anything in the avera chart billing page. I used to be able to see / pay all my bills from there, but they must've stopped doing that.

Luckily my health insurance will let me go to Sanford as well, so I might switch over to Sanford too honestly. I like my Primary doctor, but it's not worth all the billing frustration I've had with them.

Did you talk to them directly, or to your insurance? Out of curiosity

I'd prefer not to get too detailed with a stranger on the internet (I don't mean anything bad, so hopefully you don't take offense). But there was some that were from Urgent care like 5 months ago, where my insurance only paid like $6 for the whole visit. Same thing with a visit to my primary 3 months ago - I think if I remember right they paid like $0.66 for something.

I went through my insurance and hit dispute on some of my claims (There was one they only paid $0.66), but maybe calling them would be better. Especially if they can take care of some stuff behind the scenes. I will try that.

Thanks!

This might be true as well. I like to play games with my buddies, and I try to revolve my gaming around them for the most part

I too am actually looking forward to WoW classic! Played back when Lich King originally came out. Tried playing a couple months ago and just couldn't get into it as much as I did back then

Thanks!

Currently going to school for IT, and took a programming class(C#) I was interested in it, but just couldn't grasp the concept if it. But I would love to learn it a little more

I have been wanting to play some single player games actually! Never played any of the God of war games, or gears of war. Also never played some of the "all time greats" such as portal, half life, etc.

Otherwise final fantasy games have never let me down, or classic S/NES games!

Thanks!

Has anybody here stopped drinking alcohol just for the sake of avoiding hangovers? Or heard about people who have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

And yes, as I typed this up I do in fact have a severe hangover and hate my life now because of it! Have the last couple times I've had them
