More interferances

We found this great pharmacy on line that can get a medication that costs $200 a shot here in America for $700 for 25 shots. It is a headache med that instantly relieves the pain. The pharmacy is in Canada, the manufacturer is in Turkey. We have used this source successfully before.

  I placed my order using our HSA, Health Savings Account debit card. The next day Tom received a call from the pharmacy that the credit card had been denied.

I made a couple of calls. One to the HSA to find out what happened, why the card had been denied. I was informed that the US Government does not allow the HSA to be used for any medical expenses outside the USA. Don't get sick while on vacation someplace exotic.

I called my insurance company to find out how I can get reimbursed the $700 after charging the meds to another regular credit card. I was told I could submit the receipt to be put towards the deductible. Maybe someone will end up in the ER this year and we can get all the family coverage taken care of, then we can go hog wild with tests, colonoscopies, MRI, visits to the doctor for any lame reason. After all they seem to be making us pay for every little item the hard way.
