15. Update on my vision plan.

Eye exam earlier this month. I had to pay the cost of dilation ($75) out of pocket. Yikes. It was covered when I was working. Then yesterday I got a letter from my eye doctor saying I owe another $30 on the exam. I'm not very happy about this, although I can afford it.

added on edit: To clarify the exact charges, the charge for the eye exam was $151.25, of which my Advantage policy paid $52.00. There is a payment adjustment of $69.25, which is why I now owe $30.00.
