Hello Tiffy!

I got the insurance claim back from the surgery and it was cheaper than I expected. By this, I am actually disappointed! It sounds crazy, so let me explain why. My particular insurance has a $3,000 deductible per year. So, this means I have to pay full price for all of my prescriptions, and doctors visits have very very little coverage as well - until I reach the $3,000 limit. It is counter by calendar year. So, I knew I would have to pay full price for the LEEP, and knowing how expensive medical bills always are, I was knowing I would have to pay $3,000 at the very least, but then the rest of the year my follow-ups would be free! So while it was going to suck paying the bill I knew the rest of the year I would be good. Not true! Turns out my surgery was 1,400 dollars. So I have to pay the 1,400 and I still have another thousand to go before I am in the clear. I guess on one hand it is good to be almost at the limit on the 1st of March, but it really still sucks. I have been to the Dr for being sick once in January, and that visit plus my prescriptions so far have been about 500 dollars altogether. So my total balance right now is 1900. This pretty much sucks, because I owe 917 for taxes that is due in April. I admit I knew the taxes were coming, and I should have been saving for that. In any event, I can do a payment plan on the medical bills while I can not on the taxes so I am saving for taxes and the medical can come later. I wonder if I should rename this blog "Bitching Blog!"

It’s all good… at least I have my health..
