Who Knew Being in Charge of Your Own Medical Records was So Expensive?
Paper records are pricey!
As many of you know, I recently moved to Maryland from Kentucky.
I had no intention of living in Kentucky for longer than two years (it sucked), so I kept seeing my doctors and dentist back home in Connecticut.
It was a pain to go home for visits, but less of a pain than switching all my doctors for such a short period of time. I ended up living in KY for a year and two weeks.
Maryland is great; my boyfriend and I love it here. We had a deal where I would come to Kentucky until he was able to leave. We would then relocate somewhere on the east coast and stay there for at least three years.
I wanted to be closer to family while he wanted to show job stability. But we love Maryland a lot and may end up staying here for quite a while, maybe even longer than originally discussed. We’ll see.
This brings us to today, the medical records endeavor
I don’t make a lot of money writing. (Thanks for cutting base pay, NewsBreak!) Because of this, I get a huge discount on Maryland health insurance, so I made the switch as soon as I could.
