Relief!

Lately things have been kind of stressful for us.  For reasons I don't want to go into, we have had to make weekly visits to a doctor.  It isn't life threatening or anything like that, but it is to help with a certain someone in my home that needs help. 

When I set up the appointment, I checked first on our insurance coverage and was told it would only be a co-pay of $25.  We can do that.  We get to the office, and she tells me that it is $75 minimum until our deductible is paid.  I about passed out and became very anxious.  (Did I mention that I suffer BIG TIME from anxiety?)   Imagine what my anxiety level did when I found out that we needed to go back every week!  And that the cost per visit was $90.

For the last 4 weeks I have been so stressed and anxious.  I know we need to be doing this, but the cost was causing me to lose sleep, eat more, drink more Mtn Dew, be crankier, and I started to go back into a depression. 

I finally called our insurance company again and was assured that we do not have to meet the deductible.  I told her they informed me at the office that I had to meet a deductible, but the insurance company has assured me that we do not.

Yay!  I can breath a bit easier.  Such a relief.
