My boss had to go through this as her husband was dying of laryngeal cancer. She was getting bills from 3 different doctors, 2 different hospitals, and every time she spent an hour on each claim with the insurance company she got a different answer from a different representative. Eventually she stopped caring and spent that time by his bedside with him. It was so disgusting, I just couldn't believe it. We work for a medical center, which provides our insurance, and his treatments were provided by the medical center for which we work. So essentially they were billing themselves and arguing about it. Unfuckingbelievable.
Is it this bad in countries with universal coverage?
