I started pondering this the other day and thought that it would be a fun way for me to return to my blog!
So, without further delay......
You know you have a sick kid when:
1. Not only do you know your kid's insurance member ID by heart, you also know the member appeal line number and the phone options to get to a mostly real person, before the prompt.
2. You know ALL of the receptionists names' and can recognize them by their voice.
3. When leaving a phone message, regardless of recipient, you spell your child's first and last name, birth date and a number where you can be reached.
4. You know the general schedule of the people at the pharmacy and know when to go to avoid the annoying clerk.
5. That deductible that seemed so high, was reached in the second month of the policy. And the yearly out of pocket max is reached four months into the "new" year.
6. And when you call Children's Hospital during the week, you can ask Moniqua how her weekend was.
7. You know the home health delivery schedule and that if the phone rings at 9 am on Tuesday, it's Apria calling to see what we need for our delivery the next day.
8. You have discovered that good things happen if you compliment the receptionist and the intake nurse on their nails, hair, etc
More to come soon.
