I just received an explanation of benefits from my insurance company saying I owe some medical provider that I have never heard of over $1K for multiple treatments for PS over the last year.
I don't think PS has even been to the doctor in the past year. The optometrist and the dentist--but not the doc (and, yes, I am overdue for her yearly!)
The only thing I can come up with is that someone has stolen her ID. I have received a couple of credit card apps in her name--not normal for a 10 year old, I think. But the thing is, I don't give my kids' SSNs out EVER. I don't even know them. I refuse to give them to medical providers for this reason (and yes, they get pissy when I refuse to give them SSNs--but our insurance started using alternate ID numbers years ago and there is just no need for it).
Of course, it is too late to talk to anyone, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow. But I can't even imagine what a PITA this is going to be if someone has stolen her ID. I'm wondering if I should try to order her credit report. But how do they verify it for a kid? I am always asked detailed questions about my mortgage and car payments when I order my credit report.
There's always something fun going on around here!
