It's unbelievable how much work I have to do, still doing it, to get them to talk to billing at Stanford.

I'm the customer, for fuck sake. Why am I having to do their work???

OTOH, Blue Shield has been awesome!

So, I hope I can help others find the resources to fight back if they are challenged.
