I was so excited when I found out that my health
insurance was now not going to require co-pays for all well check-ups! Those frequent monthly check-ups for
Parkin for the first year all covered! Now this new change happened after the first of the year so the first time I got my free well check-up was for
Parkin's 9 month appointment. I originally didn't even schedule for
Parkin to go in at nine months because what do they do any way, right? Well now that it was free I decided to go, after all it was only my time that it was costing me. At his free well check-up it turns out that
Parkin had an ear infection ( he was acting a little off and I knew his appointment was the next day so I considered it a bonus that they would be checking his ears). I left the office happy that I didn't have to pay for that day's service knowing that I would have to pay for his follow-up
appointment.
At least I didn't have to pay for his
initial service......Not so lucky. I got billed for the well-check-up because
Parkin wasn't well at the time of his service he was sick.... Gotta love our health care system. Two phone calls later one to the
pediatrician and the insurance company and the result is the same. Nothing in this life is ever free! So now my therapy is this blog,
hey wait this blog is free!
