Quick rant - Medical bills

[hollohas]

My family has had some fairly large medical bills over the last couple months. It's early in the year so we're still working our way through our deductible. Fortunately I fully utilize my FSA and have HRA money as well. I know tons of people use FSA, so why the hell don't the hospitals and doctor's offices send invoices that indicate the services/procedures they are billing for!?!?! They know people need that info, but they still don't provide it. Without that info the FSA place refuses to give me my OWN damn money back to pay the fricking bill!

My wife has a bunch of bills from UC Health. And they have a great app that shows everything. She can see all the details on there. But do they have any option to print or download? Hell no. They even block screenshots. Then they mail a generic $2000 invoice with no detail. You have to fill out 45 bullshit forms every doctor's visit, but they can't spare a single piece of paper to tell you what the hell they are actually charging you for.

For fucks sake. Why does everything have to be such a damn PITA.
