Are high-deductible health plans keeping you from seeking care?
Back in January, I had a little accident in Joshua Tree National Park.
I fell backwards, clocked my skull on a rock, and got a sweet gash on the back of my head. I ended up going to the local emergency department and getting the wound closed up with three staples.
I had no idea what this trip would cost me, but because I’m on a high-deductible health plan I knew I’d be on the hook for a lot of it.
I recently received the Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company. It looks like I’ll owe at least $1,600. If that’s the case, I’ll be halfway to meeting my $3,000 deductible for the year.
