I’m always a little surprised when I can find no official website related to a company. As far as I can tell, C.E. Bunnell and Associates does not have a website at all. I’m not sure who they are or what they do, but I have a bill here from them to mom.
The statement date is August 8, 2012, which was just a few days before she died. The bill is for $241.00, for services administered by Yepes-Hoyos MD, Pedro at Fish Memorial Hospital in DeLand on July 26 (and referred by Jones MD, Allen J). I don’t recall hearing either of those doctors’ names at any point, but the date matches the day Woodland Terrace sent mom there. What a disaster that was.
The statement detail shows that on that visit she was given the following:
Shortly after the birth of my son, her first grandchild, my mom came to visit us in Los Angeles.
URINALYSIS W/MICROSCOPY
AMMONIA, BLOOD
LACTIC ACID
MAGNESIUM
TROPONIN
CBC
PROTHROMBIN TIME (PT)
PARTIAL THROMBO TIME
CULTURE, URINE
I guess it’s safe to assume those were all tests that were performed. (“PARTIAL THROMBO TIME” sounds like something fun that happens at a Miami nightclub.)
I called the number on the bill and — after giving the account number from it, and mom’s birthday, and the last four digits of mom’s social — explained to them that mom had died just a few days after this bill was sent.
The woman on the phone told me she was sorry for my loss and told me there was nothing I needed to do, that she would “take care” of the bill.
Everyone’s sorry for my loss.
