Iseethat this letter states"we will be able to bring the insurance portion
of this matter to a conclusion."
Not sure what ismeant by that. My sonwill have billsfrom other places,
doctors, surgeons, therapistandothersfrom Florida and here inGeorgia.
Also for his long term care for years to come.
SoI would think there will be a lot more billsto be paid.
Again, the conclusion part ofwhat?
Thank you.
