God is so good!

I have a huge praise! Before insurance my braces costs $4500. I almost didn't get them because I hated the thought of spending that much money to get a straight smile. However, it seemed to have been the best timing because Brian was in the process of getting his new job. With his prior insurance we had a flex saving plan with money. Since he was planning on switching jobs we decided that we could use that money on the braces. His insurance at the time agreed to pay up to $1500 but he switched jobs before we were able to get all that,so we only ended up getting $900.00. So after that what we had left to pay was $1700 to pay out of our personal checking account (in monthly payments.) This made me feel much better, paying that much sounded pretty reasonable to me.

Now to my big praise! Last week Brian asked me if they had ever submitted the info to our new insurance because he found out that they pay up to $1500 on adult braces. I said probably not because I already had them on when we started his new insurance and most won't pay on existing treatments. But he encouraged me to at least call and see if they had even tried to submit it. So I did. The lady called our insurance, they do pay for "works in progress"and they do cover that amount for adult braces. I was so excited and shocked! My balance was sitting at $1512. I had an appointment today and when I went to pay I owed $12.11! My braces are paid for!!

What a blessing it will be to have this payment out of our budget, to have the braces paid free and clear, and if my calculations are right less than $300.00 out of our checking account! God is so good. I had to share this because it is just such a blessing!
