How much do your fills cost?



Recommended Posts

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!!! :P

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)

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.

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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
