I work for the state. I have medical, dental, vision, drug.
My 5yo daughter, from playing around sprains her arm (first time). I know just from common knowledge it's notthing serious. Anyway my wife keeps telling me she needs to go to the hospital. I don't want to, knowing when you go, they charge up the ass if your not admited. Anyway we go and as I suspected after 4 X-rays nothing serious, just a simple sprain. The doctor spends 5 mins. They let us go and we pay a $50.00 ded upon leaving (that's not too bad). So I get a bill in the mail for $50.00 from the hospital (some mistake we already paid) NOT!!!! I checked my health plan carefully.
"100% of allowed benefit after $50 copay from EF Facility Care and $50 copay for ER Physician Services"
Lesson learned
