I've seen the future, I can't afford it.

gridloreMore insurance fuckery is afoot. Last week, as I mentioned before, I got hit with some big bills for what I had been told were covered visits. Well, today I called my provider.
The really big-ticket whammy was approved, but for some reason was not going through. This provider contacted me by mail asking for a copy of my insurance card, which I emailed them. So now I have the insurer working on the other end.
The other bill, which is about to become two bills, is for the interventional pulmonologist. Nobody told me, but that provider is no Bueno with my insurers. So I may be on the hook for about 850 bucks there. I can and will appeal.
The big problem is that this is the guy who is supposed to be doing my biopsy this Friday! So despite having been told that it had been approved by his office, I stayed on the phone until the CareMore (ha) rep confirmed that this was in fact covered.
Of course, this means I have to tell my surgeon I cannot do a follow-up because even a video appointment with him is over $300. California needs to pass its single-payer plan yesterday.
We bought a lottery ticket Saturday. Can we please win so I can worry about having too much money for a change?
