I'm so glad DW jumped in and gave them what for and got everything straightened out. What assholes they are.
May I ask which hospital?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The times we've been forced to see out-of-network docs for Dylan's sick visits (not every ped in the practice takes the same insurance), the office has ALWAYS taken care of the billing for us. (The one out-of-network bill we got accidentally from the insurance company, we called them and they immediately said "Oh yes, that's not your fault, don't worry, we'll take care of it.")
It is NOT THE PATIENT'S JOB to deal with administrative fuck-ups on the part of the office management. Not even a little bit. I am so angry at these people, GC!

And thank you for the offers of assistance and the shared anger. I am still really upset, but I'm ready to be out of that office. I so wish we had followed through several weeks ago.

Aims, we're delivering at Providence Tarzana (formerly Encino Tarzana).

IOpreggoN, I'm pretty sure I didn't used to think spicy California rolls went with Starbucks chai. And yet, so delicious!

GC, I'm so glad DW was able to find a solution. I think you need make sure the new OB's office gets on the stick to get your medical records from the old office, a.s.a.p.

DW is picking up a copy of my file from their office on her way home. They charge a $50 fee for this, which had better be waived but I'm not holding my breath.

I'd ask if that was legal, but nothing about the American health care system's treatment of pregnant women surprises me anymore.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
(((((GC))))). I'm glad your DW was able to sort some of this out for you. That is so incredibly fucked up, and you have every right to be upset.
I am at the dentist with TCG hoping that this won't mean much missed work and/or a ton of money. My migraine has mostly passed.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
According to [link] in CA a doctor's office may charge up to 25¢ per page plus a "reasonable clerical fee". That half a c-note may or may not qualify as reasonable depending on how thick the file actually is. I'll leave it to someone who has more of a clue about the wages of front office staff in California to guess at that. GC, I'm sorry this is such a trying thing for you.
Shir, all the peace and health ~ma I can give for your sister and your dog.
How's my Monday? Well, having worked the overnight shift to cover for someone who quit, I now have the rest of the day to sleep and generally lolligag.
