NT's big $4K medical claim finally processed in his insurance account. I was holding my breath, thinking they might make us pay up to our max out of pocket, but it was nowhere near. Cost to us for that particular expense: $579.97.
So I'm feeling pretty good! I had $3,250 set aside in case we had to pay the max out of pocket, and so far we're just going to owe $1,543.56. No new bills have come in for weeks, though I know that's a possibility. But since we already have four claims, we might be done! That would mean we have $,1706.44 left over.
I don't want to jump the gun and put that money toward debt (much as I'd love to), so instead I'm putting it into the medical EF. Plus 31 cents interest that was added to the account last week, that's $1,706.75 to the medical EF, taking it to $3,221.01! That's more than double what it was before, and just $1,778.99 short of the $5K goal. If I have to take some out to pay more medical bills, it'll be a bummer, but not a tragedy.
(Tentative) good news on medical bills; big-picture goal progress
