the cost of pinkeye

April 11th, 2007 at 07:57 pm

(in two children)
$18 co-pay x2 = $36
parking for doctor's office = $.50
three prescription co-pays (two eye drops and one antibiotic for the kid who also has an ear infection, possibly secondary to the pinkeye) = $45
lunch while waiting for the scripts (too far to go home in between) = $5.45

Total: $86.95
Wow. Just for two little pink eyes! And that's with insurance. I shudder to think how families without insurance can get side-tracked by such a little, but necessary, thing.

    I have never had health insurance pay for anything in my or my dh's life. Thanks goodness we are pretty healthy.
