I’m back

OK since my wife Danielle updated my website, she told me I need to blog more often. So here I go again, hope this time I can keep up. This website is all about me and my job. Hope I won’t make you bored you. If you want to know what I do for a living I am a patient account specialist. I work with patients with their billing questions and insurance. It can be fun and pain in the butt. So if you do have any questions I can try to answer them the best I can. Just remember that I don’t know everything and never claim to know everything.

At work today it was pretty crazy. It seems that every phone call was a problem call. I mean it’s good because it keeps us busy but then again it’s not because some people want too much from us. I will try to tell you about some information about billing or insurance every time I blogged. So here I go for the first information that’s good for you to know. If you ever get injured and need a lawyer, please keep this in mind. If your lawyer needs medical records or billing information you would need to give them the right to get this information from your doctor’s office. You would need to sign something and its only good for a time frame. Most of them are only good for ninety days. The point I am trying to tell you is this. A lady from a lawyer office called me up today as information about a patient I will call the patient John Doe. The lady told me that she did send in paper work. So I looked at John Doe’s chart and I see that he did sign it back in November of 2008. So if you do the math it’s passed ninety days. So I asked her that Mr. Doe would need to sign a new one. She got upset and didn’t know how he is going to get a hold of him. However she took down my fax number. Later on the day I got a fax from her with Mr. Doe’s signature on it. However the date next to his was today. I looked at both signature and it match so close. It looks like she just white out the date and put today’s date. So I am going to call Mr. Doe to see if he did sign something if not I will be calling her and let her know that he didn’t sign it and she did something wrong. I will be sure to tell Mr. Doe what they did. Well I gotta go eat now. Tomorrow is another day and I will tell you how it went if I get a hold of him. Also what I ordered tonight. This is Matt in the hat and I am out of here.
