Medical billing issue

[PhillyBrewer]

Well unfortunately, her billing agent is a salty b*tch who hasn't gotten laid in decades and is taking it out on me.

No worries. I'm getting hitched in November and plan on getting a tonsillectomy as soon as I'm on her insurance (which is great).

I'm kind of concluding that I'm basically f*cked as far as having to pay for the "procedure". I have lastworditis (my mom's creation) so I'm trying to figure out how I can have the last word after having to pay the $245. All I can come up with is writing dozens of negative reviews on as many doctor reviews sites as I can find.

That part is easy. Pay in pennies. It's legal tender, and they have to take it by law.

I would assume that in the US, you would need to sign a different informed consent for to be examined, and then to undergo a procedure, whiel I am not a Dr in the US from the little bit I have read, its seems MD's there charge for the tiniest thing, anyhow, if you were not informend it was a procedure, and its reasonable you thought it was jsut a examination, you shouldnt have to pay

Jake: I had that same idea last night. Unfortunately, a business can decide to note accept that type of payment. That's 135 lbs worth of pennies by the way.

Yeah, but if you refuse payment from legal tender, the debt is considered settled. I could be wrong about this, incredibly wrong, because I am by no means familiar with federal currency law.

My basis is a video I saw where a guy went to pick his car up outta the impound and paid with 8,000 pennies. 2 hours and 7 cops later, the impound lot was told to either release the car or accept the payment. It was a great watch, especially having paid at least a thousand in tow fees myself.

I'm pretty sure the largest debt you can settle in pennies (that they must accept or drop the debt by law) is $24.99. Can't remember where I read that, probably one of those 'Crazy laws that still exist' books. Such as in Culpeper, Virginia, it is illegal to bathe your mule on the sidewalk. Just sayin'

In Spearfish, SD, if there are five or more Indians on your land, you can shoot them. WTF? Or, If three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon

Ok, I am thinking we need to move to SD, think of the fun BN games we could all have there. Of course the Native American population would suffer and soon be extinct. But until then, game on!
