INSURANCE AGONY
After the automobile accident I went to the hospital. Again, I probably would not have bothered had I not been five months pregnant, but the paramedics guy insisted I go. Now I have this hilarious $965.40 bill.
While at the hospital I gave up my health insurance information. Like a fool I thought medical bills should be covered by health insurance. But since it was an automobile accident, apparently, it is the auto insurance that eats the tab. So whatever. I call the hospital and give them The Steady's automobile insurance information. Within an hour, they call me back and ask if I own a car and if I have auto insurance. Yes and yes. Then they tell me it is my auto insurance's responsibility to cover the medical bills, even though I was just a passenger in somebody else’s car.
Isn't this terribly fun??

Sorry to hear this. The driver of the car that hit you when they ran the red light should be paying for it though. My wife was 7 months along when some jackass hit her from behind. The police insisted she go to the hospital even though it was just a fender bender. She was monitored like you and all checked out fine. The other drivers insurance insisted on paying for the bill...and did.
