CECAA850 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 We're still paying our part of the OVER 100k bill my daughter racked up last year. She's accumulated over a quarter million dollars in medical expenses in her life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds kind of like my dads bill, he was in the hospital for well over 6 months before and after a heart transplant, and he had insurance. His part was far from being paid off when he died a few years later, my mother paid on it for years until she died. With insurance his rejection medicine alone was over $600 a month. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted April 20, 2017 This was in the news today, bose spying. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/04/19/bose-headphones-have-been-spying-on-their-customers-lawsuit-claims/?utm_term=.049c68992202 Part of the story.......... Bose knows what you're listening to. At least that's the claim of a proposed class-action lawsuit filed late Tuesday in Illinois that accuses the high-end audio equipment maker of spying on its users and selling information about their listening habits without permission. The main plaintiff in the case is Kyle Zak, who bought a $350 pair of wireless Bose headphones last month. He registered the headphones, giving the company his name and email address, as well as the headphone serial number. And he download the Bose Connect app, which the company said would make the headphones more useful by adding functions such as the ability to customize the level of noise cancellation in the headphones. But it turns out the app was also telling Bose a lot more about Zak than he bargained for. According to the complaint, Bose collected information that was not covered by its privacy policy. This included the names of the audio files its customers were listening to: Defendant programmed its Bose Connect app to continuously record the contents of the electronic communications that users send to their Bose Wireless Products from their smartphones, including the names of the music and audio tracks they select to play along with the corresponding artist and album information, together with the Bose Wireless Product’s serial numbers (collectively, “Media Information”). Combined with the registration information, that gave Bose access to personally identifiable information that Zak and other never agreed to share, the complaint says. Listening data can be very personal, particularly if users are listening to podcasts or other audio files that could shade in information about their political preferences, health conditions or other interests, the complaint argues. The filing also alleges that Bose wasn't just collecting the information. It was also sharing it with a data mining company called Segment.io, according to research conducted by Edelson, the Chicago-based law firm representing Zak. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They checked my insurance and told me how much I would owe prior to the procedure as I haven't met my deductible this year. They actually took my card as I was in the chair waiting on the procedure. That was maybe 5 or 6 weeks ago? I got an additional bill for more money this week. That didn't set well. as I've already paid them what they asked and they checked my insurance before they touched me. My wife works in medical records and is very familiar with insurance billing, much more so than I am. One call from her and it was written off. I'll take one !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
