There was an email from the office manager to the office this morning saying our medical insurance is coming up for renewal and asking us to answer some questions.
said...
1. Our deductible is currently $750/ year. Do you normally meet that deductible amount in a year’s time?
2. Our copay amount is currently $30/office visit, or $45/emergency or surgeon visit. How many copays do you generally have in a year?
3. Our maximum out of pocket is currently $3000 yearly. Do you generally meet this maximum out of pocket each year?
4. Prescriptions are $10 /prescription for generic meds. Generally how many prescriptions do you fill a year?
5. Do you have any major medical expenses coming up?
6. Do you have any major dental work coming up?
7. Do you have any comments about the medical/dental/vision coverage we currently have that you would like to share with me, to help me make the best choices?
It's a small office and they know about
my medical issues but wow that was some awkward and personal information... but with an hour deadline and wanting to make sure I'm taken into account I had to answer. She's going to think my 70 prescript
ions a year (best guess) is a typo.
And now I'm terrified of our insurance changing after I was counting on hitting the out of pocket max (I'm just a couple hundred short for the year already) to keep up the Remicade and start catching up on debt.
