I have actually had a high enough dollar amount of medical expenditures this year (between chiropracting for my hips and my ridiculous dental saga) that I'm going to be able to take a deduction on my taxes. That has never happened before. Not even when I had freaking back surgery. (Although that was more likely a function of how good my insurance was back then, and how much it covered.)
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My insurance does not seem to be calculating it that way.
It reads:
year to date deductible amount $3250.00.
year to date out-of-pocket amount $2500.00
I do not want to call and sound like a jackass, but those 2 should be equal, right?

Is it an hmo, or do you have a different in- and out-of-network out-of-pocket?
Reasons those numbers might be different:
- Your deductible amount includes money spent on out-of-network expenses, but you're out-of-pocket is only including in-network expenses.
- Your deductible amount is the family deductible, but the out-of-pocket is individual.

Just talking about health insurance makes me itch. I think I'm allergic.
My blog post today is a bit of Halloween flash fiction that appeared in GWW a while ago. [link] The post before then was about my novel COG which is currently in the hands one of my agent's readers [link] Somehow I'm avoiding e-mailing my agent every day to ask, "Are you done with the edits yet?"

Yeah, I am just giving here the out of network #'s - there is the same issue with the in-network #'s - they do not match. both categories are for family - at least that is how I read the info. I am going to email HR and set up an appt to discuss with them. I am so not inclined to pay this medical bill - I feel certain my insurance should cover all or most of it. Bah.

Then yes, the OOP should be greater than the deductible, not the other way around. :-(
