Ugh, expensive surprise in the mail

[ActiveMSers]

I just got a surprise bill in the mail from MD Anderson for more than 10 grand. My follow-up care is not being covered by my insurance, which is not entirely unexpected, but I thought it was included in the estimate for the entire procedure, which was paid in full back in February. Had I known I was racking up a bill this large I would have worked to get more things like bloodwork done in state (and likely paid for by insurance).

We'll see if pleading works, a method I prefer over swearing. Ack, this puts a crimp in things, specifically the bank account....

that's all- just gotta love insurance companies.

so glad to read of your good health, though. this website and your story has been a major boost to me since my diagnosis about a year ago. thank you.

Yuck, those medical bills seems to multiply really quick! Hope the pleading works, though it never seemed to make a difference when I did it
