My doctor has been changed before getting my exception signed and my new OBGYN refused to complete it as she "strongly encouraged the vaxx, but will respect my decision to not get it".
At 3 months from my due date, I REFUSE to inject venom in my body and harm my baby. I will be fired by the end of the month.
Any suggestions??? I'm quite desperate 😅 because I want my medical bills to be taken care of while I'm in labor.
Alternately, don't pay them at all.
When we had our kid they tried to collect up front, a few days BEFORE we were scheduled for cesarian. We were under the impression we were visiting the hospital for a walk-through to get comfortable before the procedure, but it was 100% a setup to try to strong arm us to pay up front. I was LIVID.
So I refused and told them that's not how medical billing works. They insisted. I insisted I would pay of they ran the procedure through insurance FIRST as is standard procedure. Of course they were unable to do this. Ended up talking to the department head via phone at her lackey's desk. Back and forth "well we can't run insurance first, what would you be comfortable as a down payment". Me: "I'm comfortable paying it ALL up front, if you run it through insurance." Her: "How about $200." Me: "How am I to be guaranteed my $200 will be applied to my billing?" Etc, etc.
Tldr: years of dealing with medical tyranny and battling algorithms got us in the door with no money down. As an added bonus I decided not to pay them a red cent after the fact, on principal. (The hospital experience was as horrible as you'd expect from the introductory briefing - trying to force vaccinations on our newborn. Trying to FORCE us to stay as long as possible to milk the insurance [Literally TELLING us as much in the process], throwing all sorts of billing related psuedo-science at us the entire time.)
It's in collections. It'll disappear as a write off as these things do, and our performance opened more than a few minds along the way.
Gah, I'd forgotten all of this. Glad to bring this bile up if it helps others.
God Bless you OP.
yep, fuck em. A hospital filled with medical brainlets just following orders so they can collect their covid bucks doesn't deserve a single stinking cent.
