I'd Like To Know How Much Your Ins. Covers



Recommended Posts

HI,

We all talk about ins. covering/ not covering. I thought it would be interesting to know exactly how much your ins. does cover.

If I'm approved my ins. BCBS anthem of Ohio (even though I live in NC) will cover 85%.

Anyone else? :)

My United Healthcare paid all but $35 co-pay for the first visit. When I go for a fill, I pay $35.

My insurance required a center of excellence and would pay 80%. My cap on yearly out of pocket is $3000, so combined with all appointments this year I will only pay $3000 for healthcare. Actual surgery costs look like approx $800.

Here is total cost for everything:

Initial Doctor Visit: $35

PreOp Appointment w/book: $275.00

Surgery: $250

Total Cost: $560

My insurance is with Tricare and a supplemental with ASI Tricare. I must say that I was truly blessed especially when I found out the cost for everything. However, I don't know what the cost will be for my follow up and fills but I have already meet my deductibles on everything.

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas and the surgery was 17,000 and I paid 647 once all the bills came in, which gave me free fills and office visits for life so I don't ever have to pay a co pay or anything.

I'm self pay in DC I'm paying 15k out of pocket financing 10k. Since I'm the first self pay they have ever had in the clinic they do not participate in the GE care card program so had to take out a personal loan. The cost includes. One year of fills, 23 hr of hospital stays and 4 f/up visits. I'm hoping to my $ next week so I can schedule surgery. Although do to the insanity of my job and my limited amount of leaving I'm not scheduling until end of May. I'm so anxious I just want to get started with ,y new life.

The one good thing about self pay is that I don't have to go through all that insurance crap which to me is worth it!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
