okay... so thomas is NOT sick at this time. took him to see his dr today, and he thinks that it is just some serious sinus allergies... go figure. cost me 70 bucks for that diagnosis... blargh... oh well, at least i know that my boy is healthy. we have a follow up appt on thurs morning to make sure everything is good. check out his cough and all that jazz. make sure that it really isnt anything serious.
but, wanna hear the funniest thing EVER... called tricare this morning before i set up thomas' appt. i sent in my paperwork and the check for insurance continuance... called them today to make sure all was good before i went in and had to pay like 120 bucks for thomas' check-up...
apparently i was already enrolled in a completely different kinda program already. its a transitional healthcare program. instead of having to pay the enrollment fee on top of the 150 dollar deductible and 20% co-pay from there... i only have to pay for the deductible and co=pay. no enrollment fee. has to do with my having been medically separated from the military. so we are good until may. which has saved me at least 4,000 dollars in enrollement fees (2,000 a quarter), possibly even 6,000.
hoo-ray for small victories.
