Hospital bills

Ooooh, but first: house news!  Technically, our house sold today!  We're renting back through Saturday so we can move.  We signed the papers on the new house yesterday, and we should be on track for keys Friday, I hope.  The best part about it all is that we won't have a house payment until July, which is the most reassuring thing I've heard in quite some time.

Now to move on to what is frustrating the hell out of me.  I got a second bill for my surgery in January (the myomectomy to remove the fibroids that were supposedly preventing pregnancy, even though my AMH was plunging, unknown to everyone).  I had assumed that the first insanely high bill that we got covered the entire surgery.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  Apparently, the first bill was just for physicians services, it didn't include the hospital charges, which are much, much higher.  The bill doesn't show what portion will be covered by insurance, so that will be a nice surprise when that bill arrives.

But here's the kicker: I dug out the first bill, which I had been planning to pay as soon as our house sold, and I noticed that I was being charged for a laparoscopy.  I didn't have a laparoscopy, I had a hysteroscopy.  So that's just one more thing I need to take care of.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will lower the cost of the procedure.  I really don't understand why we can't have simpler healthcare billing in this country.  It's just mind-blowing to me.

Anyway, today is my telephone consultation for embryo donation!  Yay!  I'm really looking forward to getting the (very expensive) progress started.
