I'm so happy. I don't know what happened but for some reason our medical insurance went back and reviewed our charges... Yea they covered like... 75% of what we thought were out of pocket charges to date. We were well above 20,000 out of pocket with all of Josiah's issues. I got a new bill in the mail today and now all we owe is around 5,000 or so. I'm going to call and set up a payment plan today. I seriously think I'm going to cry I'm so happy. This means we won't have to file bankruptcy. We can manage this. Thank you insurance fairy!!

That is so awesome...what a relief!

I'm so happy for you.

I think that is disgusting that you were going to have to file bankruptcy over medical issues. Unless bankruptcy was over buying a Hummer to get you back and forth to the hospital, then there is something truly wrong with our medical system.
PS I'm happy for you too.

It's the most amazing thing when something unexpected happens like that. We were really behind on a couple bills, and after paying them, DH's check was shorter from a miscalculation of his insurance, and we were short on getting formula and such for the baby, and a lady at work gave me a check for $100...how she knew about it I don't know.

But I'm SO glad that you don't have to file bankruptcy. Not for it not being such a hot thing, but just because things are already stressful enough for you! That just would've made it worse! Congrats on the good news

Heyyy we match! Lol (nice screen name)

I agree with you. I used to cry over this for days. It seems so unfair that because our son is sick we were in financial crisis. It's not like we bought a bunch of stuff out of our budget or anything. This hospital is ruthless (and it's where DH works too, go figure). They even had a collection agency take money out of our bank account at one point. It's been horrible. I don't know what prompted this change but since we're getting a full bill FROM the hospital and not a collections agency we're going to take advantage of that!
