Here is why this is a gear grinder. A big insurance company incorrectly paid us for a patient that was not covered. So we have to cut a cheque to them and mail that Cheque to a PO Box. If they do not receive it in time then the patient gets billed for the amount AND loses their eye coverage benefits. Essentially, it is our responsibility to get the $$ to the insurance company to ensure the patient still has their coverage (Even though it was an insurance company error.) They have no alternative to a Cheque to a PO box. Other insurance companies just take the money off the next monthly statement and send us an email.
Another example is a patient in Lethbridge purchased glasses through us. It was $17 to ship them those glasses using Canada Post with tracking. It was $44 through Purolator.
