Good news is all my medical bills should be covered shortly for the rest of this year
Bad news is all my medical bills should be covered shortly for the rest of this year

Last year I had a $3,600 deductible before they paid all my costs, that was covered almost immediately as my Harvoni to kill my hep c was over 100k and started treatment in Feb

This year is a $4,200 deductible but just went in Monday for a pulmonary embolism...and that is going to cost me for emergency, 2 ultrasounds's, a cat scan with dye, 2 mri's and an echo cardiogram never mind the 3 days in with all the drugs and the new med is 346 a month forever...so as soon as those bills come in my costs will be free the rest of the year...joy joy

BTW, I'm fine

Normally I have no problem sleeping. If something wakes me I am usually back to sleep within five minutes. However this morning I woke at 4am (no idea why, probably upstairs neighbour dropped something loud on his floor). Could not get back to sleep, so eventually got up two hours early and worked.

And the reason I could not get back to sleep? Thinking about design ideas for bloody ClitPass!

Our insurance just changed out of the blue. The Bitch's work decided to change insurance companies & now we have a $1000 deductible, and a $10k out-of-pocket, compared to $250/$2500 at the old one. We haven't paid any copays since October, so this is just another expense we didn;t foresee.

But, I'm glad you're fine

Same thing here. It's the reason I haven't tried to get my leg fixed again.

We are going to be dealing with something similar here by end of this month. With all the meds she has to take from cancer plus having to lose a couple of doctors she has dealt with since the beginning of that has caused some frustration. This frustration actually pushed me to my meeting last week and to start background checks that are needed, which I got notice on Saturday that they cleared and now waiting for that paperwork to come in. The hope is getting back to working in the industry I use to. Contract work will help but getting hired back full time I believe is now the goal as a few of those companies have great health benefits, and they pay pretty good too.
