I got the statement - so glad I have good insurance!

[ericsmom 2]

I got my statement the other day that showed insurance company responsibility and patient responsibility. I only have to pay $155.84~~~!!!! My co-pay is $250 and then it goes 80/20 until my maximum out of pocket of $1,000 is met for the year. I have arthritis in my knees and go often for cortisone shots so I must have been almost to the $1,000 maximum because my 14,800+ bill said I'll only be responsible for $155.84! I am so happy!!!

I know a lot of people have major issues with their insurance companies, and I feel really bad for them. I had an employer whose policy wouldn't cover gastric bypass and they wouldn't change their policy, so I got a job with much better benefits. I haven't seen the detailed bill yet, but I'm sure it will come out soon.
