It's interesting being out of the country right now—especially interested to see what happens the next couple weeks!

Interesting convo with the insurance company. I was pretty sure we'd been told that we met our deductible, but looking at the site, we suddenly hate not. Looked for our major expense on the year from back in March, which was $1300. Suddenly we showed as owing nothing on that claim.
The insurance company adjusted it YESTERDAY, so now we have to chase the provider down and get the money back. On one hand, money back is good! On the other hand, now we haven't met our deductible, so stuff that was going to be covered at a certain level isn't. Like my Botox.
I mean, I know money is money. But it makes my head hurt.
And now it's occurring to me that we've been billed on the assumption that we met our deductible since whenever we met it--is the insurance company going to go back and adjust all of those claims? Which means we'll suddenly owe more money to a bunch of doctors? Jesus Christ.
What a mess, Dana! I'm sorry.
Just got the email that our ERP is available and has been for an hour but the notifier forgot to tell us. Heh.
Timelies all!
There is a rock under my computer desk. I'd ask how it got there, but I'm pretty sure I know already.
It's not your computer desk rock, I take it
Which means we'll suddenly owe more money to a bunch of doctors? Jesus Christ.
But then you'll meet your deductible again and not owe all that money? Man, the insurance system sure is great!!
Why would we ever want something else? It's so easy and makes so much sense. Not to mention efficient and cheap.
Unrelatedly, sometimes I'm scrolling through FB and People You May Know shows me someone from college and I think "He looks EXACTLY the same down to the expression, do not need to friend, I know what I need to know". It's a surprisingly good feeling.
