As most of you know, my insurance neglected to cover my RNY procedure, so I did the out of pocket thing in Mexico. Recently, I had a minor female surgical thingy done. I got the bill and I have to pay over $400 out of pocket. I was somewhat expecting it because this is the third or fourth time I've had this done. However, I thought this year would be different because I spent a few thousand dollars (or so) on my RNY surgery I thought I could apply that to my deductible. I called my insurance today and they said that only covered procedures could be applied towards my deductible. I'm like DUH! If my procedure had been covered I wouldn't have to worry about my deductible not being met yet! I swear I have THEE worst possible insurance in the history of insurance. I once again sent my HR department an email begging them to get us better insurance. This is at least the 10th I've sent over the past 5 years in my attempts to get my surgery covered. GRRRRR!

I don't blame you for being frustrated

I'd be downright ticked, too. At the very least your company could provide a selection. Maybe if enough employees complain, HR will listen. Go to it, Norma Rae

I'm so sorry, Tracy I have been blessed with good insurance through the park district. That's the plus to a government job, great bennies and job security. But I'll never get wealthy working there... or a holiday turkey, for that matter. I'll see you tomorrow night at PNC!!!! And I'll HUG the snot out of you, too! (mental note to self.... stuff a few tissues in your pocket...)
