   Some are downright stumped & don't know what to do.
   Some argue with me.
   Some tell me I'll have to pay the charges myself if there's a problem. - I just say, "Fine", knowing full well the claim will go through. Whatever information they need to process my claim is provided by my giving them my insurance company's name, Plan & Group #.
   
   People need to educate themselves - that's the bottom line. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means or know-how to do so.

   You can put 123-45-6789 for all they know. Who's going to argue with you?
