An expensive two weeks!!

November 10th, 2010 at 10:33 pm

I have had a very expensive two weeks. We talked to the hospital administrator about dh's emergency room bill. (It helps that we built his house) The hospital sent us an itemized bill. Gosh, I could not believe that a cat scan was $3750.00 They lowered the bill some and then offered us 15% off if we paid the balance completely.

So, I paid them $6000, then I paid the vet visits and surgery of about $1000 and sent $2000 to my FIL to pay his house taxes.

All this, with no income coming in. Dh is starting a spec house, but so far they are just putting in a septic tank.

I did save a little by buying some items on sale at Bi Lo, yesterday, so I will be adding $6 to my challenge money.

Prev. total $15,392.00
today 6.00
new total $15,398.00

    Hope that your Husband is feeling well.. The cost of Cat Scans, and othertests are unbelievable , aren't they? I hoope that you don't mind my asking. Are you unableto get health insurance? I know that health insurance is expensive..It is so sad that medical bills can send so many families to the poor house.

    Is this the father-in-law who disinherited your husband and the house that will go to your less-than-responsible brother-in-law? You are a kinder person than I! Glad you had the savings to pay these kind of awful bills!

    I remember getting the hospital bill for the Cat Scan I had- it was over $9,000, counting the ER bill.
