What do you consider dinner time?
Phone rang last night at 5:45. It's the hospital calling to confirm my preadmission appt for Friday morning. She says she has a couple of questions and asks if it's a good time. We were trying to get dinner on the table, but figured a couple questions wouldn't be hard. Dude, she wanted insurance info, what church I go to, and battled me on a couple of insurance things. 25 mins later we're still on the phone!
She needs to call my insurance to find out coverage and asks if she can call back tomorrow. I said fine, but not during dinner. She got all huffy that it wasn't dinner time yet. 6 pm isn't dinner time?
I know I'm annoyed at life right now, but this is stuff that could wait to Friday. I'm going to be even MORE irate if she comes back asking for prepayment for the hospital. They wouldn't have any of this if I just walked in crowning.
Re: What do you consider dinner time?
Why did she want church info? That's weird. (and please say you attend the local Church of Satan)
I think it's standard hospital info in case there is an issue. She asked about living wills, religious preference and then what church. She was also asking for emergency contacts and other crap. It's stuff I've been asked before other hospital stuff, but usually at the preadmission appt.
Does BB3 have a name yet?
Did you ask for someone else to call?
[QUOTE]Don't answer the phone when she calls back. Seriously - they'll get their info some other way.

This! Isn't your OB office connected to/associated with the hospital?? Can't they pester them for your info? (probably not, actually becuase of HIPAA.)
But you're going to be in the hospital for a few days. There should be time to fill out all the necessary information and file the correct insurance paperwork.
