MEDICAL EXPENSES - TIPS
I wish someone had told me beforehand, but I found out the hard way! As far as tests go (not surgeries), if you need any tests whatsoever, xRays, ultrasounds, bloodwork, bone scans, brain scans or MR...
Definitely get them done in hospital if you can! I had to have an MRI on my liver as a shadow was found when I had my initial CT scan. Medicare didn't cover any of it as it was done as an outpatient and for some weird reason they don't pay for these types of scans if you have already had a BC diagnosis!! It cost me $440. If I had had it done as an inpatient I may have been able to claim some or all of it through my health fund.
