This is specifically about what is quickly reported (often similar to a news item teaser) during the newscast in a seconds-long graphic that is flashed along with a soundbite/voiceover, or a banner crawling along the bottom of the television screen, or something along those lines. This is not about television programming that is precisely dedicated to business news or financial news and gives in-depth coverage of those topics. ~

They said I could most likely count on all of the $250 eventually being paid by the insurance.
Instead of being a complaint, this post gives kudos to not only my insurance company, but also the people of that billing department of the medical provider. Approxima... less
