Let’s just say your doctor works out of the Ridgeview Clinic, whose main offices are from the Ridgview Medical Center in Waconia, Minnesota. Great clinic, great hospital, great doctors, that’s where I go when I need to see a doctor, usually the Spring Park office or sometimes Excelsior, but this isn’t about me.

I know what you’re thinking, but it really isn’t about me. Honest. It is about someone I know very well.

Let’s say you go to the doctor, you have some really good insurance, you don’t pay squat for a co-pay. Three bucks. Good insurance, and the left hates you because you have a better policy than they do. That would be pretty normal since envy is the driving force behind that ideology. They don’t think it’s fair that you can afford better insurance than they can. Back to the true story.

You go to the doctor and space out your co-pay, and they space out asking for it. Big deal, three bucks right? That’s what I say. You would think for three bucks they’d just tack it on the next time you go in, right? Maybe a phone call informing you that you owe a whopping three bucks, and that’s what they’d do, charge you the extra three bucks next time you go in. Maybe a note in the mail?

Oh no! Not good enough. Gotta collect off those deadbeats! Ridgeview Medical Center turned the three dollar bill over to a collection agency in Cambridge, Minnesota called Advantage Collection Professionals. For three bucks! I don’t know what’s worse and more cheesy, turning a three dollar debt over to a collection agency, or the collection agency actually accepting a three dollar collection. What are you guys going to make off that? 60 cents? 75 tops? I know. You can’t make this up.

Well, that person owes the money! Umm, no, no not really. You see, the person in question overpaid Ridgeview Medical Center and they actually owe this person eight dollars. Okay, let me see if my math is right. Ridgeview Medical Center owes this person eight dollars. Now if they just would have taken off the three bucks that person owed the clinic, that means that Ridgeview Medical Center owes the person in question five dollars.

You’ve heard the old excuse, “the check is in the mail?” By Ridgeview’s own admission in the letter below, “the check is in the mail” (for 8 dollars). But oddly enough, this person never received the check in the mail and Ridgeview acknowledges via that letter, the check has never been received (cashed).

Y’know, don’t you think it would be easier just to credit the account rather than dick around with all this bullshit? It’s common sense, for God’s sake. It has to cost more in labor, processing and mailing fee’s for Ridgeview, don’t you think? That’s the problem. They don’t think.

So the bottom line is for Ridgeview Medical Center owing this person five dollars, they turn that over to a collection agency. Someone wanna explain how that works? What do they have? A bunch of f – - king retards working in their business office? You gotta be kidding! Unfortunately, I’m not. Look, I’ve scanned a copy(s) of the proof.
