Filter sillyseaon. I did, it's improved my quality of life.

There isn't a good outcome for this one. Just rage and pain and mitigation and frustration and bitterness.

With regard to the medical bill stuff, you kinda have to take control of it yourself. There are mechanisms in place both on the hospital's end and the insurers end to process stuff, but if pieces don't click perfectly it's the patient who gets screwed. Find out what exactly the hospital is waiting on, and then sit on the phone with insurance until you find someone who can actually fix the problem. I work in medicine now, I worked in insurance before. You have a bit more control over the situation than it feels like.

One more thing to do, I know, but it can be dealt with.
