Learning the ABC's of the EOB
It sounds simple...the Explanation of Benefits form. You'd think it would be a clear, easy to read document that tells you straightforward the details of your health insurance.
Today I've learned otherwise. Codes, coverages, deductibles, percentages...AAAHHH!!! I'm almost convinced you have to be a rocket scientist to understand these things...and I graduated with a degree in accounting! I can't imagine what this is like for someone who hates numbers!
You know, there are a lot of good things about pregnancy. Seeing your wife's belly start to grow, hearing the baby's heartbeat at the doctor's office, thinking how God will use our child in the future, checking out all the cool gizmos for baby products...all these things are wonderful. The Explanation of Benefits form? Simply Evil. Pure Evil.
Guess it's time to get some coffee, Tylenol, and a calculator. Pray for me as I try to decode this monstrous beast form...

Jaisen, you'd better get used to those EOBs because this is just the beginning. You have many years of EOBs ahead of you. Children may be expensive financially, but the rewards are priceless!!! Good luck & God Bless!
