Surprise Bill

Today we got a surprise medical bill in the mail and after I called and spoke with them (I had paid it off I thought in April) the lady informed me that this was a completely different bill, I said well I have been tossing out the bills from you guys since I thought I had paid it and since it has the exact same account number I figured it was a mistake. Well she informed me that it was a completely different bill and that one had been sent to collections but if I wanted to pay it now I wouldn't get contacted by collections, I opted to pay the entire bill via EFT since I don't trust them as far as I can toss them and I told her that since it was nearly the same amount as the one I had paid off in April and the same account number I thought it was dumb of them to keep the same account numbers for each doctor and since it never once listed who the amounts were for I had no idea that it was for different doctors (it just puts the total amounts due in the bill.) Fortunately I keep all my EOBs and I made her go thru them to account for every penny. And then sent exactly what she told me the amount was to them via EFT.

Spending

We have been very careful to put every penny spent excluding our personal spending money into a spreadsheet that I made and we'll be very excited to see how this goes at the end of the month. Its been up and down at work lately and although I did have an opportunity to get overtime I was way too tired from my last two days at work that I decided that the overtime was not worth becoming sick to have. I'll see how it goes next time and decide on overtime if it becomes available then.
