Everyone makes mistakes...

After Emma was born, we got so many bills in the mail, I lost count. Our insurance covered a great deal, but there were small bills here and there for anything from $3.25 to $150. I just wrote the checks and put them in the mail.

Fast forward two years. There have been many less bills arriving after Hope's birth. So when I received a bill last week for $310 from my OB/GYN, I didn't think too much about it. However, it was for an amount much more than I'd seen in the past, I decided to call the office and ask about it.

Me: Hi, I just wanted to ask about a bill I received for $310.

Office assistant: Sure, let me pull up your account. Hmm...it looks like that was for a surgical procedure you received on November 13th.

Me: Can I ask what procedure that was? I wasn't admitted to the hospital until November 15th.

Office assistant: No problem. It says here that you had a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Me: Hmm, well I had a baby two days later, so I don't think that was me.

Lesson learned. Everyone makes mistakes.
