Hello readers!! Hopefully everyone is ready for summer and has been getting along well!
We’re once again in Roatan, Emily’s post yesterday should have clued everyone in. Even with the Urgent Care visit and subsequent fallout from that (more on that later!) we did enjoy our time in Roatan and decided to comeback.
Emily is doing the hands on portion of her free diving course starting tomorrow and I will be finishing my Advanced Open Water course. I have four dives with skills to do for my hands on portion. This certification will allow me to dive to 130 feet though they recommend another course to dive at that level and suggest that 100 feet is recreational diving limit. As you dive deeper there is more things to consider and watch for. You get more dissolved gasses in your body and you can spend less time down. For the most part I just want the certification more so than to dive deeper all the time. I do find the 30-60 foot range to be where I usually get to dive anyway. Also your tanks last longer in shallower water. I would rather have as much time under than go deep.
Since we have been here before we are not sure what we will get for pictures. I don’t think there was a lot last time either. I should get some dive photos, if they let me during my certification dives.
So more on my Urgent Care visit, the billing company for Unimed submitted a bill for $4500 + and my insurance did come to an agreement with them for the majority of it. As for what was left I have no idea what they’re doing because I haven’t heard from them since the insurance company paid them. So for soaking my foot in cleaning closet vinegar and scratching at a couple spines with a needle someone got paid well. When we were at the Urgent Care they charged a $400 deposit and said that the bill was going to be around $400 and that’s why they charged that much for a deposit.
Today we stopped by the excursion place where we booked the snorkeling and tours last year and they took us down to Urgent Care and they were going to find out why it was so much. I have a feeling they don’t know what the billing company is doing but they may. Anyhow we have to go back tomorrow when there will be someone who is in charge of things like that. Kevin from the excursion company is going to take us. Sounds like he knows the person who runs it. So that should be interesting! Maybe we’ll find out if Unimed gets a cut of that insurance money or not.
Traveling with Emily!
