Fills after insurance paid surgery

[scmotley 3]

I was just wondering if insurance pays for all of the fills if they pay for the initial surgery. I have Tricare/United Military insurance

I have Aetna in Illinois and fills are covered by mine.

I would call and ask your insurance company. I have BCBS and pay $25 copay for fills.

Every insurance and doctors have different ways. The best thing is for you to check with your insurance or you doctor's office.

As stated above, you will need to contact your insurnace and your doctor's office. My surgeon inclued office visits and fills for the first 90 days in his surgery fee, but I've heard of other clinics that include fills for the first year.

After the first 90 days with my surgeon, I just have to pay my office visit copay.

My surgeon also included rechecks and fills for the first 90 days post surgery, and I just found out that my Federal BCBS will pay all buy the co-pay of $35. (I did not check previously because I figured I was going to have to get fills whether they are covered or not...) I also kind of thought that at least something would be covered if the surgery is, they wouldn't just leave you hanging like that, right? But still, you should call and find out.

I used to have tricare now I have ChampVA. I was wondering the same thing about the fills. It would seem like they would pay something. But I guess I'll have to call my insurance on Monday to be sure. Good Luck and I hope they pay it for you. I know it can be expensive. If I have to pay out of pocket it is 150.00

Thanks everyone. I will talk to my insurance and find out. I don't have a copay normally.
