Except for the hour klong trip to the bank - approximately 20 minutes to walk the block, 20 minutes to visit and take care of business at the bank, and 20 minutes to walk back - my morning was fine. It was the afternoon that went to hell. I got a call from Northwell Health to didscuss how I wanted to pay that $4,000+ bill, only with other charges my insurance would not cover, the grand total was $5,000+!

DR elmore3003 - WTF?  Yikes.

[elmore3003]

I very much liked the lady I was speaking top, and at one point over the amount, I mentioned that I thought I had gone onto Medicaid since I was so poor. She asked me to gicve her my Medicaid number, and I had to tell her that a NY State agency had infomred me I was on Medicaid but I had no card or further info. She suggested I call them and then cvall her back.

[elmore3003]

I called the agency, waited forever fror a staff member, and learned that I had been added to Medicaid last September hwn my Pandemic Unemployment ran out. Only . . . there was a hitch. I had never submitted the required documents, the very samer I needed for the Food stamps program: verification of my Social Security and union pension. I did get my Medicaid number, and the staff person said she would put my card into the post.

[elmore3003]

So, I called Northwell Health back and spoke to the nice lady again. I may have been added to Medicaid, it turns out, but it doesn't work because they are still waiting for my documents. Oy!

[elmore3003]

So, I vented about not knowing how to pay off that $5,000 bill in monthly instalments sicne I wasn't making enough from Social Security and pension to pay off my monthl;y expenses. That perked the nicve lady up, and she said, "Let's talk about thta." By the time I had given her all my info on rent, utilities, income, and the detritus to be paidf that I could not, she told me I had opened not a can of worms but a can of rainbows. The amount I now owe for the cancer treatments is $1,000+! She would be sending me an adjusted bill.

That was the good news of the day, but . . .

[elmore3003]

While4 I was on the phone with her and digging around for requested info, I went to Google to look up how to get a Social Security awards letter from them since I need it ASAP. The very first thing that popped up on Google was for all my SS answers, so I went it and erntered my question about an awards letter, all the while talking with the Northwell lady. It turns out I was on the site Just Ask, and they asked for my credit card number, I enrtered it, and now I'm $50.00 overdrawn at my babnk.

It's my own fault since I was only paying half attention to what I'm doing, but I feel not just more foolish than udsual but very angry about Google ads and how thius occurred.

[elmore3003]

So, this morning I will do laundry. Then I will pursue those two award letters so I can turn them in to HRA for help with my Medicaid and Food stamps.

My life sucks.

Congrats to VIXDAD!

Good news from DR ELMORE.

I learned from my brother in law that when doing a Google search, skip all of the first few answers that have AD next to them......I'm sure it has saved me a lot of money and aggravation over the years.

I have some insurance and banking to do myself.

This afternoon, my brother Mike is driving my sister Paula my cousin Lita and myself to the viewing for our Aunt Mary.

Good morning, all.

I love much of Berg's music, including the violin concerto, but the two (or however many he wrote) Schoenberg concertos are barely listenable to these ears. Granted, it's been years since I tried, but I do not feel compelled to spend more effort on them. I shall admire their composition from afar, and that shall be that. I do love some other Schoenberg pieces very much, no question, but -- this is how far back it goes -- I still have scar tissue from sitting through the piano concerto in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion back in the 1970s. I don't even remember if it was Levine guest-conducting, or Mehta, or who the pianist was. Oy!
