So, I called the Dr's office to set up an appointment.......

the receptionist axed me what for and I say well, I've been feeling a little tired lately and just want to come in and get checked out. Do ya'll have a wellness physical or something like that? My insurance will cover one per year, and what will that entail?

Receptionist "Yes, we can schedule you for a physical, let me look at your insurance a minute. Ok, you do have coverage for a yearly physical. But, since you told me you weren't feeling well it won't cover it.

Me: "Ehhh run that by me again"

She states again that if I come in and ask for a physical that I'm covered, but if I state that anything is wrong with me, I can have the physical but it's not fully covered nor any additional medicines/tests resulting from the physical.

Me: So, let me get this straight, I have to be healthy and not say if anything is wrong with me for a physical so my insurance will cover it?

Her: Yes

Me: Are you kidding me?

Her: No

Me: Okay, so what does your standard physical entail?

Her: The doctor determines what tests to run

Me: How does he determine what tests to run if I can't tell him if anything is bothering me.

Her: I don't know, you'll have to ask the doctor that. Can I schedule your appointment?

Me: Just forget it.


Damnit man.

The healthcare and insurance industries deserve everything they get from

obamacare. Unfortunately, we're the ones who will pay for it.

Really not that big of a deal, but shat like that just pisses me off.......

almost got arrested at a lab once, when they told me that they couldn't take my insurance so I would have to reschedule.

I'm standing in the lobby with a damned stool sample in a paper bag and they tell me they can't take it and I'll have to do it over again at another time.

I said listen, I ain't carrying this bag of crap home and doing this over again. Do you know how difficult it is to ring a cup with a turd?

So, I offer to pay in cash, I pull out about $800 in cash I had in my pocket and say that should more than cover it.

She then tells me they can't accept cash.

I went ballistic, I pointed out that on the face of the hundred dollar bills it stated it was legal tender. She still refused.

I put the bag down on the counter and started walking out.

Just then she says she's made a mistake and they can accept my insurance.

Told her to have a nice day.
