i guess i should've asked BEFORE I made the appointment...

so, update on the Chiropractic issue, for those of you who don't know,m i was going to one in Orange, but had to switch when I got a super big bill over winter break, and found out that she is out of network so insurance won't cover it. I figured it was worth trying this other guy the insurance company recommended because he's in network so they're supposed to pay for it(or so I though) I have now found out that there is still a huge deductible, that needs to be paid before they will pay anything, although it is half of the other deductible for going out of network. They are nice people and are trying to work it out, and haven't charged me yet, because they're trying to get things worked out with the insurance company first. However, I found out tonight that if for whatever reason they can't get it worked out and I have to pay the whole cost of everything, I will owe them $150 for this week. He wants me to come in three times this week, $50 an appointment. I freaked out a little bit when the office lady told me that, so she did say if I need to I can do a payment plan, but there is no way, even if I get a job, that I can afford $150 a week in chiropractic, it just isn't going to happen. *sigh* Unfortunately, I didn't ask how expensive each visit was going to be until after I made the appointment for Friday. And today's appointment, well, it wasn't completely clear that I was going to adjusted again, all he said was that he wanted to go over the x-rays with me, which he did, but I also got adjusted again. Apparently I needed it, because there was some major popcorn in my lower back, but still. They also have me getting massages each time, so that's why it's $50, other wise it would be $35. Oh yes, they're charging me for something that seems to be a regular part of treatment from them. If they can;'t get it worked out, I'll either go back to the other place I was going to($40 a visit, and I feel more comfortable there anyway) or drive in to see Cheeley. Either way it would be much cheaper. The thing about this place too is that is connected with PIH, so it's more like a Dr.'s office. Stiff and formal, wearing one of those gown thingys, anyway, it doesn't feel like a place where I can say, I'm only coming in once a week, like I can with either Cheeley or Dr. Anne. Cheeley would be the least expensive, till gas goes up, but Dr. Anne is closer, so I guess it just depends on which I find more valuable, time or money. Grrr...it's all very frustrating.
