Why I Miss Working At UVSC
29 Mar
Here is what we paid after insurance for each of our children.
Kaisa:
Hospital Co-pay #1 (I got sent home): $100
Hospital Co-pay #2: $100
Midwife Services: $0
Pediatrician: $0
Grand Total: $200
Everett:
Fiona’s Deductible: $1000
Everett’s Deductible: $308.15
Hospital Bills: $645.77
Midwife Services: $1088.49
Grand Total: $3042.41
It’s official: our insurance SUCKS!!! (Luckily we chose to use Aflac for this pregnancy and were paid $3100…we just about broke even).
Just me pointing out the irony of this coming directly after a post about gratitude. Have we had better insurance? You betcha’! But it could be a lot worse, I’m grateful for the insurance we have.
Well, you are way now because now you have Everett! :)
How did I miss the work “ahead” in that sentence?! It was supposed to be:
Well, you are way ahead now because you have Everett! :)
Sheesh! Jamie asked me how much baby has cost me since being pregnant. Just from doctor visits and blood tests, I’m at about $150- 200 bucks. We’ll see how teacher insurance covers delivery. Maybe we should deliver at home. :) Don’t tell my mom.
Dax:
Pediatrician: $100
Hospital bill: $1300 (after insureance)
C section :$900 (before insureance it’s $3000)
this other bill not sure what it was for but that was $800
Kids are expensive to have let me tell you I got this all paid off in 10 months!!! Thanks to tax money…
Yeah, basically…I don’t feel bad for you. You have come out under $300 total for 2 kids!! You don’t realize how nice that really is. I don’t need to go into details or anything, but I pay our out-of-pocket max EVERY year. Just be happy that you didn’t have Everett early and pay for your medical bills like the rest of us do. :)
Ouch! I guess it is good that Heath re-enlisted in the army. Our babies are free for the next 6 years! :D
