[QUOTE="HBGPreloader, post: 450838, member: 19782"] When your coverage kicks in depends on your contract. Since you're a new hire, I'm not sure how it would work, but you should receive family coverage once you hit a certain amount of time served. Your "out-of-pocket" expense would depend on the plan you choose and your choice of medial facility. Some hospitals participate in some insurance programs while others are considered "out-of-network". As for the bill now, call the hospital and start asking about charity care or similar programs to get help with the bills. Don't be afraid to ask questions and question answers. and don't be surprised if you get a lot of run-around either. Once you jump through all the hoops and get your final bill(s), try to negotiate for a lower amount or settlement - if you have the cash available. If you don't have the cash to settle, set up a monthly payment program in an amount of what you can afford. Even if it's $5, they really can't do anything to you as long as you show a willingness to pay (assuming the laws haven't changed in recent years). Checkers [/QUOTE]
