Earlier this year, late January, I was the victim of a sudden and severe dog attack. This has changed a lot and left quite the scar on my forehead. I have been busy with University and haven’t had many opportunities to look at my insurance, but I received an automated email today and decided to bite the bullet and finally look.
The EOB by my insurance (crappy, mandatory, college insurance) was about 93k. This is not my first emergency medical event but it is the first that I’ll be saddled with responsibility for. Rather obviously I don’t have that amount, but I’ve heard that there are ways to lower the bill substantially. I’m hoping anyone can provide me some insight as to where to find these things. For reference: this happened in Central Florida, and I am a student attending a private university on scholarship (currently unemployed).
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read and share any knowledge they have.
Throwaway of course, also afraid to tell my insurance company where the attack happened because I’m afraid they’ll come after the property owner who is a family member.
