Dear Insurance Company I really do not like you...

Guess I am in a complaining mode today...Did you know that it costs around $300 a girl to get the blood work done. Can you believe it?! I am sure you can. Now, let me ask you how much do you think our co-pay for that would be? It's an essential exam both kids have Galactosemia so one would think that the deductible would be minimal, but you know what? Totally wrong. Our share for each (!!!) child is over $60. Isn't that appalling ? Tell me please, how can it be - Dear Insurance Company - that you won't cover the entire expense? Did I mention that we already pay a decent amount in premiums each month? Well, it's official I don't like you. Thank you for reading...

Right there with you. Makes me understand why so many galactosemics without issues drop out of the medical system... We have a $70 co-pay plus a bill for the doctors plus a SEPARATE bill for the hospital - because the clinic is held in the hospital building. I guess we're lucky in that only 1 of our 2 kids has CG... Pretty frustrating, though.

Thank you for sharing, Christy. It makes me crazy and dropping out of the system is no option b/c how do you find issues. I think it's outrageous!!! BTW - in Italy healthinsurance even pays for food as it's special....

It is just so frustrating!!!
