I had to sign up to get emails whenever a new claim showed up in the system because they were so frequent and with what they're charging for this stuff it would be devastating if something was denied and I didn't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1510822 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 23:34:58 +0000 Sapphiresun 1510822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Canadian chiming in, but I'd love to actually see an itemized bill for things even though we don't pay it directly out of pocket. But I'm sure I've paid for the minimal medical intervention I've had in my life a couple times over in taxes. But that's socialism, I suppose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1510813 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 23:18:50 +0000 indi 1510813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: It's insane. Our first "preview bill" for LO's birth was 36K+…that made DH zip right up about the &gt;$2k we'll pay out of pocket. Healthcare is definitely a racket. Sheesh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1510771 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:38:36 +0000 SweetMamaM 1510771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: I :heart: New Zealand as well - LO hasn't cost me anything since the start of pregnancy and we won't pay for him medically until he turns six. Public socialised health care for the win :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1510743 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:25:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1510743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Just remind yourself, Canadians have to wait obscene amounts of time for things we can get scheduled in days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1510701 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:57:23 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1510701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: omg tell me about it.

I wanted to say - "you guys didn't do anything! what am I paying for?!" lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-now-stop-complaining-that-our-insurance-doesnt-cover-ivf#post-1509871 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:31:21 +0000 spaniellove 1509871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know our IF coverage wasn't the worst but we did pay quite a bit out of pocket. Well now I'll stop complaining about that, because I took a look at our recent insurance claims paid. OMG. In the past month they've paid $13,000 for 2 ultrasounds at the MFM and 1 triage visit. I'm afraid to find out how much my most recent triage visit will cost, even if I'm not paying for it, and then I still have a few more ultrasounds at the MFM. I'm just going to be grateful now. How is this stuff so expensive? </p>
