Haha, whoops! I fixed this.

No no no folks. You have four days *after your health care provider whom you’ve finally fired explodes into national news as a serial predator on your patients* to go into your automated billing system, find his name, and make a few clicks to suspend billing.

You are right except:

Yeah but maaaaaybe finding out one of your doctors was sexually assaulting people would be a good time to do a quick manual check of the billing system?

Anyone with half a brain in the billing department there at MSU could take action and do whatever it is necessary to not bill anyone for Nassar’s services. (literally anyone with a brain, like an intern could suggest this at a meeting and it would probably gain support and action would be taken.)

A fair and level headed assessment. As the other person below you stated, give them a few days to correct it. If it isn’t handled immediately, it’s time to get on the anger train until they wake up.

MSU’s automated phone system right now:

I’ve worked in a wide variety of industries, frequently doing billing work, and there is ALWAYS an option to not send a bill. That that option hasn’t been used here is unconscionable, and as a society we need to stop doing this mealymouthed “well i’m sure they mean well and truly nothing can be done” bullshit. It’s…

While that’s certainly true about the automated system, you’d have thought that step one in the billing department when this all broke would’ve been to cancel any outstanding balances for the 140+ victims identified. We’re well over a year past that now.

And if someone high enough up, say from the University President’s Office, or the General Counsel, or the Public Relations department, calls up and says “hey, let’s hold off on sending out a bill for a little bit,” there’s also an option available to stop the automated billing.

In my experience that’s the setup with all hospitals, clinics, medical facilities. The only time the person doing the billing knows what the doctor wants to bill for is if it’s a very small office.

Exactly. I’m a patient at several MSU clinics (including Sports Medicine, luckily with other doctors) and this is all just automated billing business crap, whatever entity is sending out bills has no idea that she’s been assaulted. And I guarantee whoever is answering the phone has no authority to even discuss this,…

You’re right and I would give MSU four business days to get it fixed.

If the Miller family gets another bill after, say, this Friday, then bulldoze the MSU Sports Clinic.

The goggles do nothing!

These comment sections get weirder the longer people are snowed in.

Makes sense. Pedophiles, I believe, are beat and stabbed at the highest rate of any group as many inmates are parents themselves. I would’ve assumed that’s what you meant.

This comment is absolutely bizarre, and WAY creepier than the comment you responded to.

It’s better than guy 99 or 100.

I like repressed porn, but I don’t know how to articulate that well.

He is just gonna be SO popular on the inside.
