Spam-o-licious! (4/7)

Re: Spam-o-licious! (4/7)
@wasnotwas, Grayson just started nursing/ taking a smaller amount of his bottle at bedtime too. It used to be his biggest bottle but now that he's filling up on dinner I guess he has less room. We just cut it from 7oz to 4-5.

Then LOL grabbed the phone and noticed she hit the flag button on @WasNotWas post and it did the same screen fade but nothing came up.
If I did indeed flag how do I rectify?

ETA: changed "my" to "B's" because I don't go to the pediatrician, my kid does.
I feel like we need details.
The HR dept at my company is incompetent and put down B's birthdate and insurance effective date as 7/23, which was the date I turned in the form notifying them of his birth. He was born 07/05. So of course my insurance company refused to cover any bills that came before 7/23. I spent a ton of time getting that sorted out.
At B's three month appointment, the admin at the ped office tells me there is an outstanding balance on my account. I tell her ok, I know why that happened, please resend the invoice to my insurance company, they shouldn't have any issue paying.
I also call insurance company to get things squared away. They say they don't have any record of any bills so they will call ped to work everything out. I get a voicemail from insurance company a few days later that said everything is worked out. Bills are paid.
Six month appointment rolls around and admin tells me I still have an outstanding balance. I say that's weird because I'm not receiving any bills in the mail from you and ask how much the bill is for. Some other admin who is not even in the convo but is standing there says, "Oh, it's a lot" in a super bitchy tone. (It was two invoices totaling $200. Not really a lot but also not something I want to pay considering I pay for insurance and I know my insurance covers it.) I ignored her because I didn't know who she was. I explain that I spoke to insurance co and they even left me a message saying they'd worked everything out with ped office. Admin says, "Yeah, it is weird because they've paid all the other bills, just not these two."
Fast forward to today's 9 month well visit. Sign in as usual and take B to the well kid's room and wait. And wait. And wait. The office isn't busy, not sure why I'm waiting so long. I'm not a complainer so I wait without saying anything. I overheard the nurse say something about insurance purgatory to himself. Finally get in to see doc after waiting 45 minutes past appt time.
As I'm leaving, the admin tells me she had been on the phone with my insurance company for 40 mins about the outstanding invoices. She tells me, "oh yeah. Turns out insurance did pay those invoices several months ago, we just hadn't updated our old system to reflect the payment."
So she made B and me wait 45 minutes while she found out that it was an error on her end, not mine, not the insurance company's. Never apologized. Nothing. Then the girl who collected the copay for the outstanding balance was super rude to me (same chick that told me I owed "a lot".) I realized later that the nurse said something about insurance purgatory while we were waiting because he had been told what the situation was, which really pissed me off because I feel like that could have affected the level of care B received. I don't think it actually did, but it's really none of the nurse's business whether I have an outstanding balance or not.
Add to all of that the fact that they never sent me any bills to collect the outstanding balance only told me about it when I was at the office with a baby in my arms and couldn't take any proactive action, they schedule 8am appointments but none of the staff actually shows up until about 8:05am so I have to wait in the hallway, and confirmed my appointment the day before only to basically ask me why I'm there the next day because the "ped is making rounds".
I could go on, but that's the majority of it. Sorry for typos. I hate typing on the iPad. The text box is so small.
