Good thing I waited until today for the Short-Term Disability update, because we had a new development this morning. I had a message to call Metlife from yesterday (they keep calling the house like I am still not working). I thought that had to be good news because I had not heard from Metlife in a couple weeks. Why so optimistic? Well, I thought things could not get much worse or weirder - but, of course, I was wrong.
The lady I spoke with at Metlife this morning said that Kaiser did not send over the requested medical records, but a document reproduction BILL that must be settled before they send the records. OK, OK, OK - I will go by Kaiser and pay their "copying charge" bill. How much can it be? $10?
The Metlife lady tells me the bill is for $124 (one hundred twenty-four dollars)!
What the hell is going on here? Are they sending my thyroid over in a glass jar?
I know what the deal is. They want me to just give up. And granted, most sane, normal people would just quit. But that's not me (not too sure that came out the way I wanted). I have just about had all I can take and I am about to get all David Banner (aka: HULK) on Kaiser and Metlife.
I am having fantasies about walking into Kaiser's Medical Record office at the peak of my radiation next week and having a chat with them. I would love to say (for all you Hulk fans) "Ms, I am getting angry - and believe me, you wouldn't like me angry!" And don't forget Metlife. I wish I could send them an email photo of this 10" scar on my neck and tell them, "OK, you caught me. I tried to pass this massive scar off as a 7-hour surgical procedure instead of the shaving accident it really is! I just wanted a couple weeks off."
