Don’t tell Kristie… I haven’t printed these out for her yet.

You may remember a post a while back that talked about the Rising cost of insurance. Well, recently we received some paperwork from Anthem Insurance regarding Kristie’s stay in the hospital. While we weren’t too surprised with the total amount that the hospital charged, it was a bit disheartening how Anthem tried to screw us and the hospital.

Keep in mind that Kristie was in the hospital a total of 7 weeks, and had a multitude of procedures in this time including 4-5 ultrasounds, q6h antibiotic IV drips, round the clock fetal heart monitoring at times, as well as the delivery itself and all charges incurred during that procedure. However, none of Christian’s expenses are included in this amount.

In total, the hospital charged roughly $80,000 for her little 7 week excursion. Like I said, we figured as much. However, Anthem apparently didn’t want to pay up. The EOB (Explanation of Benefits) paperwork that Anthem Insurance sent us stated that they were only going to pay roughly $2,500. Their excuse was that the stays were not covered because the hospital didn’t properly submit the request to have the hospitalization approved.

The funny part about it all is that while Kristie was in the hospital I received paperwork approximately every week from Anthem stating that the next 7 days of her stay were approved. It’s amazing how they can approve her stay, send paperwork stating that fact, but then see the final bill and just decide they don’t want to pay.

After playing around with bugs and problems for days, I decided to completely reinstall the photo gallery. So.. while the gallery itself is working, some of the links from the blog are broken. I’ll be working on these sometime in the near future.

UPDATE: All the photo links from the blog should work back to around the Grand Canyon trip. I did a general search and replace, though the replace was all manual. While some of the pictures may be different, they should work.

In addition, I did find out that it was SO MUCH EASIER than I thought to import and rework the gallery. Since I’m not using many of the advanced functions, reworking the database isn’t that much of a problem The biggest problem was resyncing the photo’s to the blog.

Either way… it should all be working correctly now. WOOT!

Yea.
Um.
Well.
Gee.

OK ALREADY! I DID IT!

I issued the wrong commands, didn’t RTFM, and borked it GOOD! Tooke me quite a bit of reverse engineering files to get it up and running again. It works now though… I hope.

UPDATE: I’m still working on little things, but most of it should be back up and running. If you find errors, please let me know so I can nail down these few problems. Thanks!

UPDATE 2: I’ve altered some of the configuration to make things load faster for everyone. There is no more random images in the sidebar, but that’s ok with me.
