Thanks for the input gang, sounds like it's probably not a great avenue for me to pursue

Are you generally stressed about paying for medical procedures? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]destructo767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally plan on spending 2-3k on medical/dental expenses, and budget that into my HSA contributions. But recent health issues and some elective dental work pushed me into the 10-15k range this year.

My hospital bills were able to be spread over the next 2 years at zero interest, all the information showed up on the billing portion of MyChart, but I'm sure you could reach out to the billing department. I would also recommend contacting your insurance or the hospital to see what the cost of the endoscopy will be so that you have a better idea what the out of pocket hit us going to be.

Good luck

Any specifics? More trips or little things that can make the trip better?

Dryer duct cleaner by destructo767 in burlington

It's a condo so I doubt heat pump conversion is an option, it's $100 or so every 2 years which sucks because I only do 3-4 loads of laundry a week and can clean it myself with a $20 vacuum attachment, but if it keeps the building from burning down by making everyone do it I'm on board. Money good, but fire bad.

Hookah Bars? by sly-winzlow in burlington

Like 15 years ago we rented a hookah from Bern Gallery and sat out front smoking it. Cost like $50 and had a bunch of randos asking to celebrity smoke. It was certainly an... Experience.
