Ugh.

Still going strong. Had a great workout this evening, really pushed myself. I am working on telling myself that I love working out while I am doing it. This is a total lie. But maybe if I keep telling this lie to myself, I will believe it.

In other, irritating news- my health insurance company is pissing me off. They are "reviewing" my ER visit in December. What? Here's the scoop:

Worked all day. Ran over to Urgent Care because my doctor's office was closed and I was pretty sure that I had a bladder infection. Decided to go get medicine as the two gallons of cranberry juice that I drank had not cured the problem (turns out the cranberry juice created new problems, unbeknownst to me at the time).

Urgent Care doctor totally freaked out- my urine sample had so much sugar in it that their machine couldn't measure it. Took my blood, my blood sugar levels were so high their machine couldn't register the number. He diagnosed me with Type 1 Diabetes, Uncontrolled. He pretty much told me I was about to go into a coma and needed to get to the nearest ER ASAP or I might die. He wouldn't even let me run home to feed my kitties and change out of work clothes into something more comfortable. And he didn't give me anything for my (horrifically painful) bladder infection.

I drove 4 miles to the nearest ER. Urgent Care people called me in the car b/c they were freaking out and then called the hospital to tell them I was coming. I then checked my health insurance online on my phone to make sure they covered the hospital I was going to. When I got to the hospital, the first thing I asked was if they accepted my insurance. Yes.

Long story shortened: at the ER forever, paid a $200 co-pay, luckily my ER doctor was adorable and awesome. Finally got pain medicine for my raging bladder infection. Went home with instructions to see my doctor on Monday morning for my newly diagnosed diabetes.

6 weeks later- received a letter from my health insurance company stating that my ER claim was "in review" due to missing information from the ER. Called and things didn't seem to be a big deal. Was told to keep an eye on the claim online. The hospital has 45 days to send in the requested info.

Logged in and guess what I found? Although the hospital accepts my insurance, apparently the random ER doctor that was assigned to me does NOT take my insurance. WTF? That is total bs. How is that even possible? I am not paying that full bill. I thought my co-pay was outrageous enough. I'm fighting this!

Can you believe that?
