Well many of you may have been wondering why in the world it was taking so long for my doctors to tell me if they could treat my third time recurrence. After that August consultation, nothing.
I heard nothing until September 21st.
Today my Blue Cross Blue Shield bills provided the answer.
Between my RO and the team of radiation physicists at my CCC, from the period of September 6 until September 21, "dates of services", I was billed under the general category: Radiation Therapy 10 times for a whopping total of $21017.79 or Twenty One Thousand , Seventeen dollars and seventy nine cents. Mind you, this does NOT include even one Cyberknife radiation treatment which I still have not been billed for, nor the Petscan. Bear in mind that about 5 Thousand was for Sept 21st when I was taking my wife shopping in NYC at the Garment District. I was never even in the hospital any of the dates billed except two for visits. My insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield took one look at it and laughed out loud and said, Right, you mean $6882.32 or Six Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty Two dollars and thirty two cents
That way "all" I have to pay out of pocket is $1,032.36 or One Thousand Thirty Two dollars and thirty six cents.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm in better shape than 75% of all US Americans insurance wise, but it looks like another year of our old big CRT TV instead of a flat screen.
Well, at least from these bills, looks like they were working hard on figuring out my treatment.
CherylD and Pandora (Donna); fine with me if your Canadian "socialist" health insurance pays for acupuncture and woo woo yet still comes in cheaper than the USA system
