Medicare intermediaries and other government drones basically exist for this type of bureaucratic crap. We weren't paid any Medicare billing for over 10 weeks because we changed our address. Finally one of our patients who knew then-Senator Mel Martinez made a few calls -- that's what it took! No one ever had the common courtesy to explain what happened or even apologize.
We all should expect this type of treatment from our beneficent government in the future as the ACA rolls out, no matter who wins in November.
And yeah, I'm a little upset because the Ravens lost.
