I don’t want them to code my information in a way that benefits their insurance system but isn’t accurate to my actual diagnosis.

My fiancee has been dealing with this for like 2 years. She got a relatively simple bloodwork panel done, and the NP who ordered it fucked up the code/paperwork for it by labeling it as something more expensive than it actually was, which resulted in the insurance not covering it, which resulted in a $1k bill for what should have been a $20 test.

The bill was sent to collections, and they were told that the bill was erroneous because the NP fucked up the paperwork. They're still calling 2 years later. They don't seem to get the hint that my fiancee is disabled, has no wages, and no way to pay it*, and therefore they ain't getting shit.

* Fortunately it is within my means to pay for it for her, but she has no wages for them to garnish, they can't mess with her credit score over it, and so they have no pathway to do any harm for failure to pay. So fuck em.

I have random genetic diagnoses on my chart because my doctor lied to my insurance to get a test approved. I can't rat her out because I did really need the test but yeah it's a nightmare
