[quote=Anonymous]DH and I once went through several sessions of marriage counseling.  We paid a $40 co-pay each time, and the therapist always seemed completely at a loss when we asked how much our insurance would cover, or had covered (for claims already submitted).  She would always say she would talk with her assistant and get back with us, but she was pretty sure that insurance had covered the services 100%.  That didn't seem right to me, but I decided to wait it out.  Then DH had a pretty sudden job change that required us to move out of state, and I had a medical emergency that required us to cancel our last session and we never rescheduled.  I left a voicemail with the therapist and gave her our new address, and asked her to please send a bill once she had determined how much we owed for the sessions.  I never received anything in the mail, and then four months later I got a voicemail asking for my mailing address, and wanting to discuss the bill, which was much higher than she had anticipated, and she wanted to see about whether we could work something out.  Honestly, I kind of forgot about the voicemail, and she never called again.  I wouldn't even know where to find her contact info to try and get back in touch at this point.  I counted that as her own loss for not making sure to send a bill, follow up, etc.  I don't feel guilty about paying - I hope she improves her business skills as a result.[/quote]
