Statements from PHI for operations

[melbel]

yeah cos the hospitals bill the funds on a cycle, say monthly, your statement can take a while to come through but you will get one eventually.

i never got a direct statement mailed out, but i can access my history for PHI online so got to see it all

dental surgery for DH and I (both within 6 months) was over 17k in charges to the PHI!

Got onto online statement today, I added all costs up and it came to $5200, $1050 out of pocket, not bad for $74 a month lol!

Hmmmmm, I'm curious to see how much Little Mister's birth hit them up for...must say though, we are with HBF and they were really good to deal with - hospital liaison took care of all the paperwork and even added DS to our policy straight away.

we got statements about 3 months afterwards when our twins were born
DS1 was in 3 different hospitals so they were all broken down
for 3 hours in 1 hossy $6K
in RCH for 1 week $32K
and in Special care for 1 month- $36K
DD bill was only $30K in total as she wasnt as sick
Also the ambulance bill to transport him via nets from RWH to RCH and back ( about 1km journey) was $125K!!!

Most of this was covered but we were out of pocket a few thousand $$$ fo OB's, anethetists, etc
so we reckon we are in front with PHI and ambulance cover LOL
