Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Just got a call about my HSG...
It was them trying to verify my benefits. I about had a heart attack on the price! 840 DOLLARS!!! Oh man this IF stuff is getting real. Yay for crappy insurance and a 1500 dollar deductible...

I'm sorry about the bill. At least you know that you're halfway to your deductible if there is any other testing.
It's definitely a shock when you get that first bill. IF isn't covered by our insurance, and it was a slap in the face when we got that $2,500 bill for my B/W blood draw. Thankfully my Dr was able to re-code it differently and we just had to pay the deductible, but it wasn't easy to see.
Also, when you get the bill, call the office and see if there's a discount for paying it in full. Even with our $1,000 deductible I was able to pay $800 instead because we were paying it in full.

Do your benefits reset in January, because if so, it's good that you're eating away at your deductible this early. Hopefully the rest of the year is much better on your wallet.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

I will say that DH and I made an agreement to wait until January rather than doing this all in November like I had wanted. It would much worse (moneywise) to reset in January after spending that money and have more deductible stuff come up.
