I just had to come back in here and tell you all about how God just blessed me. I got a $550 medical bill that I wasn't expecting because I didn't know insurance didn't cover those kinds of checkups/labwork. I was so angry yall. I called the billing center at the hospital asking if there was any thing that can be done to get the bill reduced because as a graduate student, I just didn't have that kind of money.
On top of that, the first payment was due July 6, like 2 weeks after I got the bill. I didn't even have 30 days. I had to keep reminding myself to be nice to the lady on the phone because it wasn't her fault (you all know how we get when we are mad). So I kept my voice as level as possible.
She told me about a financial assistance application they have where they look at your income and how much your bill is and decide whether they will write it off or cover a certain amount. I got a call back from the lady who went out of her way to call me back to tell me that my bill was covered 100%!! It's been written off and if I get any more bills from them pertaining to this issue, call them back and they will handle it. I felt so immediately blessed. I started praying and thanking God. I couldn't believe it. I know its relatively small in the grand scheme of things, but that $600 was weighing heavily on my heart. We have to have immense patience sometimes and also remember to treat people the way we would want to be treated. The lady didn't have to call me back (and she did it as soon as she found out the results, I had just called on Monday) and I would still be fretting for another two weeks until I heard back by mail that I was approved 100%.
Thank you Father for good people and yet another blessing!! Even when I know I don't deserve it.
