This Makes No Sense, Does It?

A December 24 visit to a local hospital emergency room was a disconcerting event. What began as Cellulitis then became Cutaneous Abscess then Localized Edema and for no good reason, Primary Osteoarthritis, was actually Cutaneous Nocardiosis, a potentially fatal infection.

None of that is as perplexing as the numbers on the monthly billing statement. ‘Splain it to your-own-self if you can.

“You Owe” column; $0.00
“Amount Billed” column; $37,588.63
“Amount Allowed” column; $2,037.00
“Amount Paid” column; $2,037.00
