A Divine Oye Vay

REALLY?????



I know
You were hanging onto your seat yesterday

What happened with the insurance???


They pretty much hung up on me


And then I found out later that after 4 months of this investigating how to submit these claims, 
countless calls 
countless transfers
countless hangups
countless hours of frustration

The client tells me they were supposed to submit the claims themselves!

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

OYE VAY!

There are no other words in my head right now

Well, there are other words, but not suitable for a family-friendly blog.

Check out Brillig Manor and Unconscious On Canvas
Have Fun and Explore

This poster is for sale!

Eternal Call Waiting




I'm on hold

with yet another insurance company

This particularly company, 
and I wish to convey this in the most negative tone possible,
epitomizes incompetence

I have been working on the claims since July of 2012

I have been given four different claim addresses over the phone

Each time the claim has come back that the insured is not recognized

Each time I call back, I'm told a new address

Two weeks ago when I called, I no longer got a person

The new automated system indicated they would call me back at 9am

in one week

SERIOUSLY!

I waited for the call back

I won't leave you in suspense.

They did not call back.

I called again this morning and my "wait time" is 20 minutes

This is truly Eternal Call Waiting


I'd love comments on ideas to deal with insurance companies who treat providers in such a ridiculously incompetent manner.

I'm not looking for revenge on the poor hapless employees who don't know what they are doing
but to the executives who set up such a system

This has got to be incompetent at best and unethical at worst.

The music the phone is playing right now is annoying

and the longer it plays, the more annoyed I get

But alas, 
someone will eventually answer and 
I will try to contain my frustration and wrath

Comments Always Welcome

In the meantime, check out Eternal Call Waiting at UnconsciousonCanvas
Available in poster, pillow, and giclee print
