Anyone here self-pay (because insurance doesn't cover WLS) and have difficulty having insurance pay for pre-op testing? I'm worried i'm going to get some crazy bill...

I am self pay. But don't even get to see my surgeon until July 17th. My cost includes EVERYTHING I am told and fills up to one year.

I just had my primary Dr. Order the tests and insurance covered them I just had to pay my normal co-pay. I was self pay too because my insurance didn't cover.

I was self pay also. The only thing not included in the dr's charge was my blood work which my ins did cover.

Ditto here.

I'm self pay also. Everything included in cost of surgery. Also covered for 5 yrs of checkups, fills, nutrition counseling and in the event of the lap band needing to be removed for a medical reason. I'm covered for that also. Do you mind discussing price. I'm paying 16,000.00 and like I say, this is all inclusive.

Mine cots $14,500 plus $900+ for the camera in my stomach. Don't know what the procedure is called.
