being nice ....or not


I wanted to post something really snide about insurance companies, but I also wanted to post about being nice.  What to do, what to do...
Well, I got this letter from my insurance company addressed to Kay Day telling me that they need to know whether a patient named Kay is enrolled on my plan.   Ummmmm....... Duh?  So there is a blank for me to fill in the patients name.  I really wanted to say Kay Day - DUH.  But I figured that would only throw them into more confusion.  They definitely don't have a Kay Day-Duh listed on my plan!
Ok, let's just be honest.  Not everyone is smart.  They wouldn't have the Darwin Awards if that were the case.  *warning, don't view the site if you hold common sense in high regard*  But those people need not fear for their well-being.  They can always get a job with an insurance company!

  1. I guess insurance companies are a necessary problem for us. Just to keep us patient. :)

  2. I work in a Records department at the Sheriff's Office. One thing we have to do that probably looks pretty dumb to outsiders is send a letter back to the people who overpay for a ticket even if it's for just few cents. It looks like we are wasting 41 cents for a stamp to tell someone we will give back the 5 or 10 cents or whatever amount if they bring the letter to our office. The problem is that we have to follow the procedure no matter what. I guess no one wants to make judgments??

  5. I think insurance companies have the LOWEST IQ of companies to deal with...

  6. Oh, I so understand. My FIL passed away 3 years ago and he is still getting mail at our house even though he has never lived here. Go figure. I hope you got this resolved. :)
