At least once a week, a professional medical biller gets a phone call from a patient. âI got a bill from my insurance company,â the patient says. This is despite the fact that the top of the paper they are holding says, âTHIS IS NOT A BILL.â Patients think it is a bill because it looks like a medical bill.

If you have a bad right knee, it needs the help to bear the weight-which is the whole purpose of using the cane. It's acting as a third leg alongside, to help bear the weight the knee can't.
DEAR READER: A cane will get you on your feet and allow you to be more active. It will also help you strengthen your body and give you some independence while your hip heals. First, itâs important to make sure you select the right cane. There are several types: standard, offset and multi-leg (quad). The standard cane has a curved handle or a T-shaped (functional grip) handle. A standard cane is good if you need help with balance but the cane doesnât have to bear a lot of weight. An offset cane (the upper part of the shaft bends outward) can bear more weight than a standard cane. The handle is usually flat, which makes it a good choice if your hands are weak.
