Insurance Hell

Well, it seems that my migraines are back. Oh, joy! I haven't been stressed at all. In fact, I have been calmer than usual. Things have not been getting to me and I have been dealing with everything in life rather well, I think. It seems to be all in my sinuses and I am dreading going to the doctor, and here is why:

My insurance changed AGAIN, and I am not even sure what it covers anymore. It already sucked and I was paying $50 per doctors visit and between $35-65 for prescriptions. Now, I don't even know how much it is going to cost me to get my prescriptions filled. I need certain medications on a daily basis to remain healthy, and last time I had to fight to get them covered by my insurance. I really do not want to go through that again. Last time I went to see the ENT for my chronic sinus infections, he told me I needed surgery or my infections would continue due to having a deviated septum. Well, my old insurance looked at the surgery as cosmetic, meaning they would not cover it. Yes, I could fight it and get it paid for, but I just don't have the energy to deal with it. And paying $50+ for every visit, well, I can't afford that at all. I had a few tests done and I had to go back three times, meaning I paid $150 just to see the doctor and not included in any medications I needed.

So, I need to call my new insurance and get the card as well as more information on what they cover and do not cover. Brent will be getting insurance through his work come June, and once we are married I will get on his plan. He has awesome insurance so that will help, and it is cheaper than what I have now. I am paying $300 per month through my work, and it is taking a toll on me.

So, until this is all figured out, I will be taking 2-4 Advil Cold & Sinus pills every day, to hold off on being unconscious due to the pain in my head.
