Lucky Break

Just before I went into surgery Medicare sent me a copy of a letter they sent to the hospital. They rejected covering my operation. 

I went ahead with the surgery anyway. Worse come to worse I was willing to refinance the house. Excuse me for wanting to be able to walk again and lower my pain level. 

The surgery went well. Today the bill came in. The operation itself cost close to $40,000. There are other bills have haven’t made it through the system yet but those should be much smaller. The good news about the bill is that Medicare did cover the vast majority of the expense. Not only was the bill much smaller, the hospital offered interest free payments. 

It’s nice to get a break now and then.
