I currently have Anthem Blue Cross and I am unsure what type of visit insurance companies consider a "fill" (office visit, specialty visit, etc).

I was wondering, what are the typical cost associated with getting your 'fill/unfill'?

Please note if you are self pay or if your insurance covers it.

Thanks!!!

I live in TX but I have BCBS Anthem CA and my fills will only cost my office visit copay. Hope this helps =)

I am with United Healthcare and my fills are covered 100%, no co-pay. I know that according to my EOB reports, my insurance company is charged $200 for a regular fill (a fill with no fluoro)

Good info!! Thanks!!

My doc only does fluro fills. If you are self pay it is 150$. Or they bill your ins. Well with my INS until we meet our DED we pay the contracted rate, then after the DED we pay 15%. So until DED is met we pay like 250$ a fill, but after it is met we pay like 25$. They offered to let us do self pay even with INS but since I wanna get my DED met I will pay a bit more up front now for better savings later.

going for my first fill 3/4/11, cant wait....

My first 2 fills are included in my surgery cost, but I will be self pay after my first two fills, and that will cost 150$

I am self pay.

My first fill of one cc was done in surgery.

My second fill was under fluro and was $750.

I have arranged with a PA to do any future fills - he charges $135.

My doctor only does fluro fills. I am self pay. I have a time frame of no charge fills and then they will be $100 each after that.

Depending on whether or not and exam is billed along with the fill, my copay is either $35 or $150.

If I pay cash instead, it's $100. I will probably just pay cash when they start coming out of pocket.

$750!!!!! Well I hope you got your money's worth and not just a mere cc or something! That's criminal. My fills are also under fluoroscope and are $100/cash.

That doctor was/is a crook. Insisted that I sign up for his aftercare program for $1750 even though I live three hours from his office and would not be able to attend the meetings or use the gym or... well, you get the idea.

I fired him.

Good for you! I'm telling you, nowadays if we don't take our health into our own hands, we end up getting ripped off or not cared for properly!

So true!! i had a problem with a famous 800 place and couldnt get anyone to listen, well now im in a class action lawsuit against them! 22,000$ charged to my insurance just for pre op testing that was un-necessary!

What?!?!?!?! You don't want to get me started..........LOL

Mine are covered 100% (under fluoroscopy) - no copay. If memory serves my statement of benefits said they were billing the insurance around $521 and were getting paid around $485 (writing off the rest).

Once my Dr. switches to office visit fills (which they can't currently bill for) then that cost may change.
