Got the bill for Tud's care from the hospital today.

Of the $115,000.00 bill from the hospital alone, BC/BS paid all but $1,100.00 of it. My out-of-pocket limit is $2,800.00 so it's going to be "first come, first served" after I send the hospital a nice check for that $1100. The laboratories and radiology people and all the other ancillaries will just have to deal with the insurance peeps after that.

After I dish out my total out-of-pocket, BC/BS picks up 100% of the rest.

Small comfort, but it does ease my angst over that nasty business detail.

Thank You, God!

I am so glad you will get a break there, Nance. Pay the others bit by bit, as you can, until you reach your out-of-pocket. Then you are clear.

Bless BCBS. They haven't done me yet either. Once my stuff shakes out, I'll owe $4000.00, out of pocket.

So glad you weren"t stuck w/huge medical bills must be a big load off your mind.It's nice to see BCBS come thru once in a while

Them are good folks, they don't like me much though, I've cost them over 1/2 million since Rita and I got married.

[kelli]

Thank God for our National Health Service

Go Blue Cross.

What a relief. The other outstanding bills will get it as you get it. They'll work with you on it. Thank you God for that wonderful help.

Nance

Call the hospital and set up a monthly payment plan, instead of sending the whole amount due.

This is such good news. I know it's a relief to you. Yes, God is good.

I had over 600,000 in medical bills in 2001 alone. I'm sure I've cost BC/BS over 1 mil since then. Being in a coma for months gets expensive. I thank my boss every year for my wonderful health insurance! He pays it for me.
