I found a bill for mom from a place called Radiology Associates. The statement shows it was for something labeled MRI BRAIN WO/W CONTRAST administered at HMC (which I correctly assumed to be Halifax Medical Center) on January 20th, 2012. The amount due is $275.00 and it was supposed to have been paid by 02/25/2012. […]
I am slowly and methodically working my way through a huge stack of bills and other paperwork for mom. This morning I found a statement from Volusia Hospitalist LLC dated 03/08/2012. The statement shows the name Mohammad Khan, MD and seems to be for services rendered on January 20th, 24th, and 26th, and February 29th. […]
I found a bill from Florida Hospital DeLand among the stacks of paperwork my sister pulled from mom’s desk. The bill is for $2,169.84 for her visit there on December 1st, 2011. That was the true “beginning of the end” for mom; it hurts to even see that date. I called the number on the […]
It’s been seventy-seven days since mom died. Eleven weeks seems like forever and at the same time it seems like yesterday. I still can’t believe that she’s dead. It still hurts more than I can explain. I miss her so much. She was only 63 when she died, which is way, way too young. She […]
I found a “Notice of Collection and Special Offer” from J.C. Christensen and Associates, Inc. for $1170.23, addressed to mom and dated February 8, 2012. It notes that their client is Cavalry Portfolio Services and that Cavalry contracted J.C. Christensen and Associates, Inc. with regard to a delinquent HSBC Bank Nevada N.A. \ Orchard Bank […]
I just called AR Resources, Inc. of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. I found a bill from them to mom dated January 25, 2012 for $790.00 for “EMRGNCY MEDICINE PROFES”. They’re a collection agency and the bill notes that their client is EMRGNCY MEDICINE PROFESSIONALS, DELAND. There’s nothing on the bill to indicate the date of the […]
As of October 25th, 2012, I hadn’t heard anything from mom’s lawyer, Steve Phillips of Pincus & Currier, LLP, since he replied to an email two weeks before that. It’s really nerve-wracking to have no idea what is happening, or to feel like nothing is happening. I sent him this email on the morning of […]
This morning I called BCA Financial Services, Inc., a collection agency in Miami, Florida. I have three bills here all dated November 3, 2011 and addressed to mom. Each one lists the physician Brenda H. Salter, a location of HMC Port Orange ED, and a service date of July 17, 2011. I’ve never heard or […]
On November 11 of last year, mom was mailed a bill for $1,154.67 from a company called Cavalry Portfolio Services. That company seems to have purchased a debt mom owed to HSBC Bank Nevada, which was almost certainly a Visa or Mastercard that she had stopped paying. I called this morning and the woman who […]
On August 14 of this year — two days after mom died — Atlantic Mobile Imaging of Daytona Beach, FL mailed a bill to my little sister in Seattle. The invoice was for $159.22 to pay for an x-ray of mom’s pelvis on May 10th, 2012. (In mid-April while she was at Halifax Hospital, we […]
