Ohmigosh, Ginger. So much prayer and vibing to you. I really hope helpful person finds you a good path.

I am regularly deeply grateful for Hubby's medicare on top of my insurance. Knowing everything is covered is bliss.

And the autofill keyboard on my tablet is nigh on miraculous.

{{{{{Ginger}}}}} I'm sorry. I hope that you're able to figure something out wrt insurance.

Tons of ~ma for Connie's DH.

This week really could use some good news.

Oh crap ginger, that sucks on so many levels! Someone better get that sorted for you posthaste, it's rage inducing how anti-patient our insurance system continues to be.

Ginger, I'm sorry.

Oh Ginger, that's appalling! I urge you to look into alternatives like programs, often through the manufacturers, that help defray costs.

Here's a story with a happy ending: I remember my MiL getting hit by the costs of chemo in a similar way. One month it was $300, the next it was $3000. My husband and I had to absorb the extra cost as she couldn't afford it. With the social worker's help we kept looking for alternatives, and the third month the manufacturer not only charged us $3 for the medicine, they reimbursed us for the previous month's costs.

Ack, Ginger, that's hella expensive!! Is the out-of-pocket maximum really high?

Damnit, Ginger. I'm so sorry. And if beating your fists against the bureaucracy gets to be too much, I've got experience with insurance phone hell and I know there are other Buffistas willing to do phone battle as needed; just let us know if you need someone to give you a break and be your Kaiser phone proxy.

That's awful, Ginger! I hope you can find an acceptable solution soon.

Here's the most frustrating part: The change also affects my monthly infusion for my bones, but for my first two infusions of this year, Kaiser charged me the old rate, so I had no clue about the change until it was too late to go back to my old plan.
