    Suggestion(s), please...

    I just finished going through 7 SCREENS of advance
    e-CheckIn for a specialist visit tomorrow. Personal
    info, insurance, meds, allergies, pre-paying the
    co-pay etc etc etc.

    If tomorrow is anything like the last 3 years, the
    "receptionist" will ask ALL of those questions ALL
    OVER AGAIN and ask for my credit card and ask to
    SEE all insurance cards.

    I really do not NEED that at before-8am.

    Suggestion: How do I tell her/him to piss off... I
    already did all of that?
    SEE?... here is the QR code
    that you asked me to PRINT AND SCAN (flapping
    paper in their face) upon arrival. AFTER I already
    answered all your freaking questions.

    And the technician will ask about each and every
    med or supplement... ONE by ONE... which I
    ALREADY answered during the advance e-CheckIn.

    Why do they OFFER e-CheckIn when it means NOTHING?
    There is NO time saving at all. Everything is asked all
    over again.

    It's exactly like the local gas and electric company... I
    send in my meter reads EVERY MONTH, but they STILL
    have an actual human being come to the house to read
    the meters! They beg for image files, phone-in,
    internet meter reads, but REAL PEOPLE STILL show up
    to do the reads!!!

    Grrr!

    Ranting!!!

    Is anybody able to make sense out of these two examples
    of apparently wasted time??? MY time???

    YOUR time, if applicable?

    PS: Do not suggest I just calm down.
    I just agree.

    I just need a POLITE way to say "LOOK AT MY ANSWERS" and
    "DO NOT BE ASKING ME AGAIN".

    Polite.

    I am always POLITE.

    But my point needs to be made. They do this to everybody.
    You can politely make your point and they will just keep doing it. Yes, they do it to everyone.

    WHY?!?!??!!

    I need to understand WHY.


    Then do not offer advance e-CheckIn.

    Yes, I moved since YESTERDAY and changed my name since YESTERDAY
    and managed to change my insurance since YESTERDAY. I have new
    allrergies since YESTERDAY and my meds have changed since YESTERDAY.
    I got an entirely new Social Security Number since YESTERDAY.

    This really does cheese me off. Drives me wild.

    And as for the utility company... don't ask/beg me for the
    numbers if you're still going to send a human out to take
    the readings. Why should I bother?

    The salary that person gets is added into my bill. I already
    did their work. Pay ME with a credit!

    But no, they still ring the doorbell.

    Grr.

    :)

    Modern systems report their own information through the wires or wireless/radio. Although they may have to audit them in person once in a while.

    Your state is still in the dark ages. Technology is the solution.

    you might be pleasantly surprised - my last 2 e-check-ins (2 different doctors) no further paper work was required at the front desk. but that didn't stop the nurse in the treatment room to go through it all over again ;)

    ~~~ @ all!

    No you can't
    I got one for you'll.

    Went in hospital last April - 4 months ago. Insurance paid they're part in full all was left was my co-payment of $15.00. Here it is Aug & I got a letter from a debt collection agency in Chicago. Called hospital and Doctors that performed operation. No help other than giving me accounts number which had no idea how to deal with it. Dead end... NY has a law where it says THERE IS A GRACE PERIOD of 180 days to clear debts up - where they can NOT report it as a debt owed. One more thing I wanted to go to Doctors office and pay the $15.00 they told me they can not take any payments until I have an appointment with the Doctor.

    These people are money hungry. We mean nothing to them but dollars. They don't give one crap about us. If Covid thought me one thing its that. They're all a bunch of crap. Medical people, politician and most of all they're leader the pharmaceutical people who won't cure us but insist we must be treated for the rest of our life's with the products out our tax dollars paid for...

    I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it no more!!!

    :mad::mad::mad:

    You can get all the COOL WHIP you want.
    Tubs and tubs of it. But if it comes in a
    CAN, be ready to show PHOTO ID!!

    Is it any wonder why some people just SNAP?

    I simply do not have the proper words about
    this at all. Speechless.

    I thought I have seen it all.

    Do we really need to be protected from ourselves
    to this extent? PHOTO ID for WHIP CREAM.
    Think about it. What is next?

    Perfect OUTSIDE topic, but I'm not going there.

    apparently so :?:
    ''The Daily Beast explains that the cans come with a small dose of nitrous oxide, and if people suck the spout before shaking the can, they get a burst a pure laughing gas. This hits at the key difference between the nitrous oxide administered during a hospital or dental visit and the laughing gas taken straight from the can; in a medical setting, the N2O is administered with at least 20 percent oxygen.''
