Happy Hump Day!

No not like that! It's Wednesday! 1/2 way there!
So today was a good-ish day. I only had a 1/2 day at work which was great. I took the 1/2 day off because i needed to go and try on dresses for my friend's wedding in October and i didn't want to be out late if i went after work. So I went and tried on some dresses and found one i like, but they only carry size 10 in store, so i don't know exactly how the proper size (6) will fit me. Frustrating, but i guess that's why God made alterations.
So then i had plenty of time leftover to go and finally get my eye exam and some new glasses. Joel and i use his job's insurance for our health/dental/vision, plus i doubled up on mine through my work for vision and dental because those coverages always seem to fall short of actual costs. So....to make a super long story short...I am covered double through one vision insurance provider. I called them and asked if this caused any problems, to see how the coverage would work since i'm covered 2x by one company. They told me that i could either get 2 pairs of glasses, one from each plan, and pay both co-pays, or i can, if i so choose, use my 2 coverages together like primary insurace and then secondary. Well i ended up deciding to get sunglasses since my regular glasses are still ok and i need sunglasses when driving (legally LOL). So i pick out a cute pair of COACH sunglasses that are only about $10 over my frames allowance. Then adding the 'black' coating on the basic lens made the total out of pocket to be nearly $100. I told them that i wanted to go ahead and use my husband's coverage first because it has higher allowances, so they pull up his coverage and tell me that i'm not on there. I was like, uhh yeah i am, i pay for it. So i called my provider, they said uh yeah...you're on there i can fax over your coverage. So they did. I then said to use my secondary insurance to cover those extra costs, and the lady told me that they couldn't do that. I told her that i called my provider and they said it was fine. She shook her head at me and was like no ma'am insurance doesn't work that way, that's not possible. Well i know full well that it does, that's why secondary insurance exists. So i asked her to call my provider and she said, ma'am i do the billing for your provider and i've never heard of them allowing that, you can't do it. So i said fine, i'm out. So they lost my business. I called my provider for a 3rd time after leaving and they again confirmed, that i could combine my insurances. So i was pissed.
Anyways......that place was rude and i didn't like them. So now i have to drive around to another place 30 mins away from my house some other time to get glasses. Oh well...at least i have a Rx now. I'm still blind. 20/30 in my L eye and 20/100 in the right. Dang.
So now that i've updated you on my insurance plight...LOL...on to other things...Lilly is in heat now for the 1st time, so i get to play happy hump patrol with Rupert. We never knew how old Lilly was so i wanted to wait until her first heat to fix her. So now here we sit, they can't play together or go outside together, and Rupert is very upset over the whole thing. Rupert's new name this week is rapist because he tries to rape my poor innocent Lilly every chance he gets. But we are being very religiously careful about watching them so that nothing happens. I don't want Boston Shelab puppies. LOL So that's my update on my life. Nothing new and exciting. This weekend is the Derby so there are all kinds of parties and events going on in town, but Joel and i didn't have a grand each for tickets, so we opted out of going. Madness i know. LOL
Ok, so now i really am done. Man this was a long post! Sorry!

Good for you!, No need to give that company business if they don't check things out with the insurance company. I would feel liberated(and pissed) about the whole thing. Take care and tell joel hi.

Crazy people. Usually it is the insurance companies that frustrate me, not the doc offices. SO many times, my insurance won't cover anything. Weirdos! I have 2 pairs of Coach glasses. Love them!

Are you goiing to get Lilly fixed? Poor Rupie.

I would love to go to the Derby sometime.

The wedding is the one down in FL right?

Becca said...

Yes we are gonna get Lilly fixed, just waiting on our tax returns to come in to cover it.

I'd like to go to Derby too, but i have been in the off season for minor races and it was alright.

Yes...the wedding in FL. :)
