Medical

We got married in 2010.  Before then, I had my own medical through my place of employment.  I chose the high deductable plan which in turn gave me an H.S.A. (Health Savings Account).  Not too sure how it all worked but my work put some money into that account for me, X amount of $ every month.

Well when we got married, I dropped my health insurance at my work and became a dependant on Northern Star’s through his work.  Because of this I cut up my H.S.A. card.  While doing our taxes this year we noticed that I still have an H.S.A.  I talked with Human Resources at my work and the representative told me that I need to call the company that handles the health savings accounts to issue me another card because I am entitled to that money.  It was a mistake made on my company’s end, apparently they didn’t “unclick” on the option to turn  off my H.S.A. while they discontinued my benefits.

Yay for us!  Now we have almost $800 to go towards our fertility treatments!!!  We will more than likely use the money towards office visit co-pays and the $60 for the HCG injections we’ll need for our IUIs.  Northern Star’s company has really good insurance.  They’ll pay up to $3,000 for anything fertility wise, BEFORE we need to start paying out of pocket.  Everything seems to be working out…

… Looks like I need to call our RE soon to set up that appointment.
