Surgery postponed

My reconstruction surgery got postponed.

I received a call from my doctor's office on Wed. "Hospital called your insurance company today and they said you don't have insurance. We called them earlier this week and there was no problem. You need to check with them."


("whaaaaaaaaat?")


When I called my insurance company (Anthem, formerly Blue Cross), I was told the entire group I belong to got terminated. We (my boss and co-workers) all belong to the same group! It turned out there was some billing problem with administration and the group administrator was able to talk to insurance company to fix the problem. Although we got restated (supposedly), it didn't happen on time for my hospital to process their paper work for my surgery, so no surgery this week...

I asked my doctor to reschedule my surgery after Labor Day weekend. I have at least 2 more weeks to play golf, go to kickboxing class, etc.
