Ugh.
I'm so irritated!! Today I received an explanation of benefits from my insurance company from when I had the D&C which they are saying cost a total of $8,584.79. Luckily my portion is only $174.42. (thank goodness for insurance!)
Here is what is on the "explanation":
Service:....................Procedure:
1. Anesthesia.............anesthesia, vaginal procedures
2. maternity...............maternity
3. anesthesia.............anesthesia, abortion procedures
4. pre post natal.........antepartum care only
5. x-ray.....................echo exam of pregnant uterus
6. surgery..................care of miscarriage
Ok here is my "beef" with this:
1. I really don't appreciate the word abortion being associated with my miscarriage. I know it's the "medical" term for this, but that doesn't mean I have to like it!!
2. I have no clue what they are referring to when they say "maternity"...nice and vague!!
3. Ironic to have the terms maternity, abortion, pregnant uterus and miscarriage all on the same billing!!
4. The kicker of all of these though, is that under the section for Pre post natal/antepartum care only...They have the following message....
"It is important that your newborn be added to your contract within 30 days following the baby's birth."
Hmmmm...lovely. Guess that can't read the miscarriage/abortion parts. IDIOTS!
