I'm starting to get the bills from July in now. I have no concept of the costs for treatment....I paid off all the smaller debts today (those under $325) and made payments on the big one. Still need to send the dentist $700 but he's getting payments too. I wonder if the financial people at the hospital KNOW how much our insurance will probably cover and normal expenses for treatment?

Right now, he's getting full income plus $300/month until disability runs out and then his co-workers said they will take that $300/month out for awhile. I like to have an idea to know how much I need to accept notary work to cover this.....I don't get paid for months so what I"m doing now, I will receive payment in November.

Has anyone been given an approximate cost for treatment or will I just have to watch the bills roll in one by one? I've never had something like this before so I have no idea.
