the indirect aftermath of the kidney stone
I got my hospital bills today, which is a big weight off my mind. I was pretty sure my insurance covered most of the expenses, and there was no unexpected ambulance bill waiting to ambush me this time (protip: always make sure your insurance covers ambulance rides!), but even so, there was always the chance of unpleasant surprises.
But no, just a $75 copay for the emergency room, CT scan, and medications, and a separate $25 copay for laboratory fees. $100 is still not what I'd call pocket change, but it's a hell of a lot better than the several thousand dollars it would have been if I'd had to pay the whole bloody thing out of pocket.
Fortunately my cash flow is pretty decent these days, so I was able to write the checks immediately and get them in the mail this afternoon. And now I am free! :DDD
