I just am tired of people thinking I'm some NSA agent looking to rob their home just because I need their insurance info to find out if they can get services at MY clinic. Like. You see our reviews. We're the best in the city. that's why you call to schedule with us. *face desk face desk face desk* I'm not some gangster.
A gangster cannot do ANYTHING with your insurance card anywayyyy

Granted! But the food is not that of the nutritious variety and you deteriorate as a result of over reliance!

I wish the United States healthcare system wasn't such a mess!

(random mini rant)

Client: "Do you accept my insurance it is "This company".
Me: We would need to know more information to look up if your insurance accepts us.
Could you tell me your member ID and DOB please?
Client: Why do you want that
Me: So that I can verify your coverage
Client: That's awefully personal, I don't want my 'information out there'
Me: No one can steal your identity with just your insurance card. I'd need to know a lot more in order to do so.
Client: can't you just tell me if you take "this company"
Me: Every insurance company has multiple "plans". Think of it like Walmart, there are super centers, some located in different towns, etc. What's in stock at one walmart may not be instock at another.It's similar concept. I know "This company" has some plans that cover, and I know they have plans that don't.
Them: How do I find that out.
Me: Yo ucan find that out by calling, but unfortunately I can't just take your word for it. It's required that our office speak directly to your insurance.
Them: That sounds fishy. Are you a real clinic.
Me: Have you ever had a doctors appointment that didn't at some point scan your insurance card?
Them: I filled out the information on paper.
Me: Ok, well you can do that too.
Them: I'm not comfortable.
Me: Then unfortunately I have zero way of verifying that you have coverage.
Them: Why aren't you in the know who covers or not?
Me: It would be much more concerning if I knew all those answers- because that would mean tons of people would have their data compromised.
Them: So you want to compromise just my data.
Me: I'm afraid you're misunderstanding me and I am failing to find a way to make sense of this all. I don't know how else I can further assist you without knowing your insurance information.
Them: YOU CAN TELL ME IF I HAVE COVERAGE. OR WHO DO I CALL TO FIND OUT FOR CHRISTS SAKE
Me: You can call them to find out at any time. But it is required that I personally hear from them that you have coverage. I wouldn't even be able to bill them for your appointment without your information.
Them: Why would you bill them?
Me: ? how would we get paid.
Them: I knew this sounded fishy. Not interested.
Me: I'm really sorry you feel that way. If you change your mind , we're here for when you're ready to schedule.
Them: I am ready to schedule but none of this sounds right.
Me: I don't know what else to say, I'm truly sorry.
Them: really unfortunate you want my information so badly, prob gonna contact the BBB bye! *hangs up*

*one hour later her mom calls*

"I'm sorry that my daughter is a 30 year old dumbass who thought her member ID was her social security number."

Me: I don't have a response to that.

Mom: Understandable, she's wicked embarassed and feels bad though can we get her scheduled and I will happily give you her information?

Me: Yes that's fine.

(( Like it really isn't entirely the woman's fault, our healthcare system is sloppy and almost no one has any idea how insurance works or what any healthcare lingo means despite it being an integral part of survival in the United States and it makes me bitter that we don't educate people on insurances in like- high school. /dead But legit at last twice a month I have a conversation just like this one with a potential patient.

Granted. you finish writing it as a elderly person and pass on peacefully before being able to successfully publish it.

I wish the cooler weather was here already. I despise heat and humidity!

Granted! But now they charge three times more calling it the "quality tax".


I wish I was better about staying hydrated!

Noted on the rules thing! For me on mobile I can zoom in clearly on the images no problem, but I understand that isnt universal for browsers. Will from now on separate all rules.

I love Vontells thread too, but we also have to consider managability. Leaving it open multiple days would be a lot of catching up for post management while staff slept and such. Ultimately as the site grows, threads like Vontell's sadly wont be possible.

As for the page number prizes, maybe it would be best to say "every page for x pages" but I worry that would make it easier for the same cpuple people to just keep posting all night and secure before others get to see it? Nonetheless, youre right that we dont want people uninspired to play until the page numbers are close. Will try to think of work arounds!

Super appreciate the feedback guys. :)
