the dust settled and we paid the bills

The medical bills started pouring in around the first of the year, but i put them aside and waited to see what insurance would pay for.  Then I waited a little longer, and finally the dust settled.  It was time to sit down and open each one and prioritize them.  I made a big list of all the payee's and then sat down and called each one.  Most we paid off but I sent up a payment plan with the hospital - just because Dr. Oro's bill is still hanging out unpaid.  the insurance said it needed to be resubmitted with different codes so they could deem it medically necessary. (isn't that weird.?)  If they have question, why are they paying all the other bills associated to the one thing that may or may not be necessary??
