It has been about 2 months now since we registered for my D.A.D. I have put a little over $2,000 dollars down towards my dog. I spend hours every single day wondering how I am going to come up with the $20,000 (approximately) the my pup is going to cost. I know I can do it though. I always do good under stress, I just haven't had a price tag added to other stressful situations before! I have so many other D.A.D. owners telling me not to pay any money towards my dog, that all money should come from donations but I'm not comfortable with that. This is my dog and I want to be a big part of it! I have bought silicone bracelets with the D.A.D logo on them that I am selling for $5 a piece, and we are going to make up some t-shirts. I have so much to do and I sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed. I am slowly getting things rolling, and it feels good.
Also, my endo. Back in Oct/Nov time I tried to set up an appointment to see my endocrinologist. I got a message that I owed money. I said yes, I just got a bill for twenty dollars and I want to pay it off right now. The lady on the other end said "no, you owe around $400." Long story short, the stupid doctors office messed up again. Their billing people are morons. 18 months AFTER my appointment they try and bill the insurance company and expect the insurance company to pay. I no longer even had that insurance. Of course they won't pay! Then they try and stick me with the bill. This is the SECOND time that the office has come after me for their billings mistakes. Both times was 18 months after the doctors appointment too. How ridiculous. I put up a fight both times. This time I dealt with a lady named "K." She tried to help me over a couple weeks time before informing me that she was quitting to go elsewhere. Great, had to start over. I then call the new lady in January named "O." O informs me that when she says she will take care of something, she does it. I found out today O has also left the office. Nice. Finally today (end of March) I find out from the endo's nurse that they wiped my debt off. Excuse me? It was under my name but it was your office's fault. UGH, talk about stress I don't need. It makes me so mad that I couldn't see my doctor for my health because of their stupidity. Its a good thing I like the doctor...and that I threatened to call the better business bureau. :)
