My mammogram was very painful, but the staff was sympathetic.   I was to be scheduled for a follow-up breast ultrasound, but I cancelled it since I felt it might be too expensive for me.  The message in my live well account advised me to check with my insurance to be sure it would be covered.  I called Blue Cross/Blue Shield, they referred me to Medicare, and the bottom line was that my doctor should file the claim.  I have had bad experiences with billing from Advocate.  They were supposed to submit all my blood tests, Sept. 25, 2023, and September 7, 2022 to medicare and blue cross.  I had checked with billing that they had done that.  Billing said they had, but one test, a lipid for cholestorol and triglycerides, medicare and blue cross had no record for.  In the meantime, I had paid Advocate for those tests, since I needed to keep my account in good standing.  I suspect that eventually I will be billed for this ultrasound, which I cannot afford.  So I cancelled my ultrasound appointment.  My billing somehow fell through your  cracks; I cannot afford another mistaken charge.
