What Tricare did for us!

I was really curious just how much James' emergency was going to cost. Nothing to us because Tricare Prime pays 100% of emergency services. Here's the rundown.

Ambulance ride to Heber Springs Hospital: $660
Emergency room visit at Baptist Hospital- Heber Springs: $4,899.20
(This included a $2,100 CT scan, $1,000 to the lab and $700 in X-rays)
Helicopter Med-flight: $8,438.50
Children's Hospital Emergency Room: $1406.06

For a grand total of: $15,403.76 which is, of course, priceless to us!

Praise God for great insurance coverage!

Amen!! We figured we got more than our share out of tricare between Caden's broken arm (over $25k!!!) and 2 c-sections! Though not as "free" as tricare we still have great coverage and are VERY Thankful for it!
