MSU still sending bills to teen for Nassar appointments...

[tboyer]

Pretty funny. Instead of apologizing, MSU trying to make money off it.

Unreal. MSU's accounting dept must not have gotten the memo..
(or they're desperate to start funding the massive amount of $ they're going to be paying out in lawsuits)

I mean . . . no words. none. just sick.

But hey, an old man getting second hand reports about slapping sounds is the bad guy

I wonder what Jamelle Hill thinks about this.

Medical billing will not stop because of allegations. Get real.

Makes sense....here’s last year’s top student from the MSU school of accounting...

The only thing that would make it worse would be if MSU sent the Mom to a collection agency.

US Gymnastics Board executive leadership just resigned. MSU looks to have doubled down on Friday and will try and ride out the storm.

I wonder what Jamelle Hill thinks about this.

She doesn't because she doesn't think at all.

 

[NitneLiun]

Of course she should get billed. Don't sex surrogates routinely charge for their services?

(I know. I'm going to hell.)

Well, we sent a season-ticket renewal to Soapy, so there's that.

I was gonna say that more often than not these things get cranked out automatically, but then I thought, how long has it been since Nassar last practiced? But if you've had any experience with institutional accounting/billing departments, it would not come as a surprise.

Absolutely right. But you gotta be alert enough to expunge this shiz, otherwise you look really, really, really bad. No season tickets for Tickle Monster. No bills for 'services' from Nasser. And no invites for coin tosses to GI Joe the Army Ranger.

Funny how she had so much to say, (with such self righteous attitude), toward PSU post 2011........ but so very little to say about her own Michigan State.

It's like getting billed repeatedly for $0.00.

 

[fastlax16]

an automated system is sending bills it shouldn't. water is wet.

"Alert," "intelligent", or "aware" are not adjectives frequently used to describe the denizens of accounting/billing departments. That applies from top to bottom. Most are nothing more than data entry drones.

Have you ever received a bill with a zero balance with the legend stamped on the bottom "This is the third time you have been billed for this item. If payment is not received within 30 days, it will be referred to a collection agency." ?

Hmm. I ran a few accounting/billing departments. You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[Roar Lions Roar]

God damn. Talk about an organization that doesn't get it. And I thought our brain trusts sucked.

Well in all fairness, it depends on how attuned you are to your customer base. I would argue MSU is not. If this happened at where I worked then heads would roll. Guaranteed.

Actually I do and you're Exhibit A.

Medical billing/Insurance reimbursement is the absolute worst. I had a situation where my doctor's office kept sending the bill to the wrong address for reimbursement. I kept getting letters saying my claim was denied because I already had insurance through another carrier. Yeah I do, it is YOU, you freaking morons. Somehow they knew that I had insurance but they could not figure out that it was their insurance company and they just needed to forward it to a different department within their company.

Yeah--every now and again we get a bill for a co pay we shouldn't have to pay and every now and again we get a refund check for a copay we did pay that they said later wasn't needed. I finally figured out that calling the insurance company to figure it out is not worth my time. I was in the ER a few years ago--paid the rather high co-pay (and I understand why--I'm ok with that)--but then got billed separately with *another co-pay* for a test during that visit as they coded it as a specialist office visit (I never left the hospital). I guess the doc gets more cash that way. I spent a few hours trying to fight it over a few months (with the help of my HR department too), but the time I spent in the end was not worth the $40 bill--the doc blamed the insurance and the insurance blamed the doc and no one would get it fixed. My guess is millions get wasted that way.

Honestly I think a lot of the “mistakes” in medical insurance are not mistakes at all. You deny enough payments and enough people will just pay because they don’t have the time or energy to fight. All those small bills that customers give in on add up
