Mid Week and almost mid December

Rock is hogging the couch and being snarky but I wanted to finish a book, blog and then we will head out for another hike. Such are the days in our life, hard to complain about anything.

But I will!

How about this:

It's not an adjustment for "amount allowed by insurance", it's simply an adjustment that the Hospital can't explain. They say healthcare is affordable and for a week in the hospital for Mother-in-law, that's not a bad amount to pay (the $3k). I'm sure it's a "write-off" they will get back in taxes. Just toss some random figures around please.

Rock and I heading to the cabin this afternoon. He sure loves his rides and hanging his big block head out the window. We made a few stops to water some bushes and enjoy the sun. It was in the low 60's at home, and low 50's at the cabin. It's cooled off a lot already and the fire is going to help offset the utility bill.
Yes, it was a beautiful day, and one of the Amish horses was saying hello. Rock was very polite as we hiked past on our first hike of the day. Several more to come, getting the heart rate up a little is better than what most people end up doing on a daily basis. I need new shoes, my cabin running shoes are run and hiked out.
I brought my full size rifle down and left the SBR at home. I checked the bore-sight and found the EoTech to be off by almost a foot at 80 feet or so. I knew it wasn't accurate, I need to put some lock-tote on the mount it simply won't stay tight. The laser cartridge bore sights are invaluable for a fast fix.

We did get the holiday lights up and the Christmas tree on Sunday, I'll dig up some photo's of that for my next post. No cabin this weekend since it's our holiday party for work. With 170 employee's, I'm going to be handing out gift cards that total up to about $30,000. It's great to work for business owners that really care about the employee's, it says a lot. It's also fun to sort of be in charge, most of the time, but that's a lot of responsibility as well. Enjoying it while I'm able and allowed.

  1. I would call that hospital and find out exactly what the adjustment was for. Get an itemized bill....every bandage, every pill..everything.

    1. We are trying to get an itemized bill. I don't know (well I do actually) why you have to request something so simple, but we have requested it and an explanation of why there was an adjustment made and what it was really for since they said it wasn't an insurance adjustment.
      Might be a while, of course.

  2. After my procedure last years, hospital bills continued to trickle in for literally seven months. The system is infuriating, of course, and designed to be so: they want you to be so aggravated that you'll pay just to get them off your back.

    I don't have to tell you to stand your ground, though; we already know you will. Sic 'em!

    1. Luckily most of the after write off expenses are covered with insurance but it's still frustrating.

  3. So that's like what 93% of the bill simply adjusted away? Really odd. Something is fishy.

    1. We agree, and hopefully we can get answers eventually.
