University of Utah Health Care has determined that you qualify for a full charitable write off for services provided prior to the date of this letter.
I know my Momma's dearest prayer was that I'd go in for my appointment with the surgeon and Wilbur would no longer be an issue, having simply disappeared through the power of prayer in two weeks time. And I know that miracles can and do happen every day! (But I knew that Wilbur wouldn't let go of me that easily, I mean it has taken two years for me to even acknowledge his existence).
So my biggest concerns have always centered around paying for the treatment I needed since I have no insurance (though I am definitely enrolling in whatever I can on October 1).
When I was in the hospital, once I'd been moved to the Observation Room in the ER, I received a visit from the financial aid office of the hospital. I worried about whether I could even get on Medicaid in order to get some help (because I had to keep answering "no" to all the Medicaid questions they asked). Then, the lady told me that the hospital has a charitable foundation arm that can sometimes cover some or all of a person's expenses. So that's what I started praying for: "Please, Dear Lord, let me qualify through the foundation, please!"
So I am EXTREMELY happy to report that my first prayer (in what has become a long line of prayers) has been answered!! Thank you, everyone for all the love and support so far!! Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers!! I ain't rid of Wilbur yet!!
UPDATE :: October 1, 2013
Yesterday I received the billing statement that finally told me how much money I would have owed if it wasn't for the charitable write off. The total was almost $13,000!!! I'm so grateful for all the prayers and thoughts being sent my way!
