Thank you, all. Since my daughter appears to be fine I agree there is no legal action to take (at this time, she's seeing her primary later this week and we'll see if the ER should have done something differently), but I definitely feel like I need to speak to the hospital about the way they...

I totally understand paperwork mistakes but they way to treated me and my daughter felt very out of line. She was standing there with chest pain and they were quibbling over papers. I wouldn't even have thought twice had it been approached like "Oh! We have different names listed as the only...

I'll be back in a little bit to answer more, I'm making dinner now, just didn't want anyone to think I was ignoring you.

Can you point me to the part of HIPAA that covers this? I'm not saying you're wrong but I'd really like to find the specific bit because I've never run into anything like this in all my years working in a medical office. I fully admit perhaps something has updated since I last dealt with it...

Her name was listed but I don't know if she listed herself as the mother or not, they wouldn't tell me. I've never run into problems like this at other hospitals or doctor's offices (in other towns) and the four of us (me, my husband, the dad, and the step-mom) have all interchangeably taken...

I'm certainly not a lawyer but in my personal experience of renting in the past with pets the lease with the pet rent or pet deposit listed in it was the "written permission". I've never been given a separate page stating permission. If it wasn't allowed in the lease the LLs would always cross...

Were they perhaps confused and thought you were asking if your brother-in-law could continue the lease by himself AFTER the month and a half were over?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado I currently have insurance with a very high deductible. I would like to continue seeing a particular doctor (she's the only one who has been able to provide any help) but her office doesn't take my insurance (I used to have Medicaid which...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado I have been served a summons for court over a debt from 4 years ago. I do not owe any of this but sadly can't prove most of it (long story but might be able to prove I don't owe about 2/3 of it). I am going to try and negotiate with the...
