Medical Bills

If I could keep these dang medical bills from growing anymore, I'd be debt free faster. Didn't have medical bills, until the last few months.

That has been my frustration recently. The emergency room visit made an agreement with me to accept $30/month, which I have been faithful on paying the last few months. Yet, they are the one that has refereed the remaining $48 to collections, saying I am seriously delinquent. I guess that's the so called "Sisters of Mercy," which owns the hospital. Despite their claims of mercy and compassion and willingness to work with you, they really are all about the money.

Next comes one of those minor med places wanting $59.60. My Dentist needs another $11, and I still need to make an appointment to get the crown for that tooth that was operated on. Related to that, I need to pay $148 to a pathology lab for the biopsy that was done on the tooth.
Related to to the Emergency room visit, I owe $66.80 to radiology for the cat scan they did. Finally, this cold and flue season has been rough, I have been to the doctor's office numerous times, because of my cold that just won't go away. Not to mention trying to diagnose some aches and pains (I've had for 15+ years). For all that I owe (after insurance) $256. That amount does not include the removal of the pilar cyst, which I haven't seen a bill for. That should be coming any day now, as it has been a month since that particular office visit.
So in total I have $578.40 in medical/dental bills that's currently outstanding. I intend to get them paid off, along with all the other debts. However, these medical bills do make it harder. Plans are in the works to get things paid off. In addition, I will pay cash for the upcoming wedding.
