Intravenous fluids for me.
May 4th, 2008Thanks to an Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich from Panera; I spent Friday and Saturday afternoons in the emergency room. During my little ordeal, I was pumped full of intravenous fluids, given a multiple shots in the bum for nausea and had a few prescriptions filled.
The cost for my weekend of excitement?
$20.00 Co-Payment
$12.00 For 3 Prescriptions
$05.21 for a Breakfast Sandwich(it came back up)
Of course, this doesn’t factor in the 35.43 taken out of every paycheck. I chose one of the more costly insurance options based upon my history of broken bones and freak accidents. The idea was to play it safe for the first two years, evaluate which of the five options available would have been cheapest, and then switch.
In my groggy drugged up state, I’m extremely happy that the weekend only lowered my checking account by $22.00.
