I am tired now. I had to be up early to drive Bob to an appointment for what he thought would be restorative dental surgery because he has bleeding gums and possible residual broken tooth fragments...
As usual, he had all the facts wrong, the address wrong, and... it was only for a consultation first! I had to fill out 4 pages of information for him, scarily outlining all his medical problems and medications. He got called in and then I waited almost an hour for him to return.
The bill was $325 (for which I contributed $25) and they gave us a dental claim form to copy and submit hopefully online to get around $179 reimbursement from Alberta Blue Cross... They said we would not need to submit a copy of the receipt so I only brought the claim form home with me to copy, etc... He now has a surgery appointment for Nov 4.
Again, bad information was given to us as I went to the Alberta Blue Cross website to find that Bob would need an online account (and he has no computer) and they DID need a copy of the receipt! I called ABC to confirm all of this and to confirm where I could manually drop off the forms..
So, I drove back to Bob's, gave him copies of the claim form and retrieved the actual receipt. I then returned home, made copies, and addressed one of my envelopes to ABC.
Since the ABC building is only 3+ blocks away, I decided that I needed the exercise, so I just walked it over. It is a lovely fall day but the brisk wind makes it a bit uncomfortable at only 10C.
And, ....while I was waiting in the dental office, I saw that the Montreal Canadiens would be here Thursday to play our Oilers. Bob is a big Canadiens fan, so I emailed the Oilers about disabled senior tickets availability. After I got home from dropping off the dental forms I had a reply from the Oilers that EACH ticket would be $485.25 !!!! I emailed them back to see if they had lost their minds....
Any government that subsidizes sports teams that charge outrageous prices and also pay millions to athletes should be voted out by taxpayers.... Grrrrrrrr
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
