Question regarding fills and Medica

[gabby 0]

Hello everyone:

I know Medica will cover the surgery,but, I'd like to cut down the hours I work and go under hubby's insurance Aetna (which will not cover the lapband). So, my question is. Are fills included in the surgery bill? Will another insurance pick up the cost of fills even though they wouldn't pick up the surgery? Thank you all. I read all your posts, and will soon be on the other side in 2 weeks. Gabby

I had my surgery done in Mexico, and both fills that I'v had in California they won't look at my insurance. I have Blue X PPO. I always try to get them to use my insurance, but they won't. My fills were done by difforant dr.s, the last only cost me $75.00 thats because it was this dr.s first blind fill he had ever done. I don't know if he'll charge me that again, right now I'm at 3.5cc's and have fair/good restriction.

I don't know if I was any help.... good luck.

It sound like you might have a blanket deal, fills included with surgery if your already approved for the procedure? Get the details. again good luck!!
