Again with the trivial finances...

Got a bill from a health insurance company. The procedure cost $50, our co-pay is $20, and the insurance company paid 37 cents. (The provider presumably eats the remaining $29.63.)

Why would any company bother paying 37 cents for anything? The labor to process the claim has to cost more than that.

That's ridiculous!

Computers know no sense, of course...I once got a bill from $college for $-0.05, marked late, with a $5 late charge, so I somehow owed them $4.95.
