Insurance Companies Are Weird
Just being honest here
Sometimes I think insurance companies live in their own universe.
Rules are made up, codes get rejected for reasons no human can understand, and phone calls go in circles like a very slow carnival ride.
You submit a perfectly legitimate claim, and suddenly itโs โdenied for unclear reasons.โ You call to ask why, and you get put on hold so long you start questioning the meaning of life. When someone finally picks up, they give an answer that sounds like it came from a fortune cookie.
And then it gets better. You spend 20 minutes explaining the exact same thing you already typed in the claim. Twice. Maybe three times. Meanwhile, your coffee gets cold, your cat walks across your keyboard, and you wonder if this is secretly a test of patience.
Somehow, though, when you finally get it resolved, itโs like winning a tiny, ridiculous battle that nobody else celebrates. You feel like youโve cracked a code, solved a mystery, and performed a minor miracleโall before lunch.
Insurance chaos may be weird, confusing, and mildly soul-crushing, but I wouldnโt trade the little victories for anything. Because at the end of the day, providers get paid, patients get care, and I get to feel like a billing superhero for a few glorious minutes.
