It was a form that said they didn't expect Medicare to pay for some or all of the tests, and they wanted me to sign it saying I'd pay if Medicare didn't.

I don't know if it was all or some at this point actually, because they wouldn't give me a copy of it and I said well I'm not going to pay for it if I can help it so I'm gonna check into this.

Checking into it did not go well.

I called the doctor's office and they basically said they couldn't help me understand what was going on. At all.

Then I called Medicare. They said they couldn't help either. Even though I gave them the names of the tests and the codes. Which I really found nuts, because when they get bills, I'm quite sure they figure out whether they will pay for them or not.

every time you see a wannabe spoiler Bloomberg commercial?
