I'm out of surgery 5 months and may need to leave my Job and I will lose my insurance. I want this to be successful!!! Anyone know approximately the monthly cost?

Mine are 150.00 without insurance and that's with numbing and fluoroscope.

Thank you! Thats still feasible for me.. I am soo afraid to fail this

fills for me is $150 but the flouscope is $250 and if the doctor does it its another $350 so don't vomit ever and keep drinking our water. I didn't know my insurance only cover 3 mos post op and now have a $2,000 bill to pay off

$150 for the office visit, and another $250 to see the APRN. I was surprised at what they charge when I saw the insurance claims.

They charge insurance different than the charge cash pay. Mine is 100-150 per fill after a year (I was a cash pay)

WOW - I'm surprised at the cost of the fills. I guess that's what I have to look forward to, once my flat $1,500 upfront fee runs out. That's what my doctor required, to cover the first year of aftercare.....including fills. Insurance didn't cover any part of that fee, but I pay nothing every time I go for an office visit. If I sat down & worked it out; cost of service less insurance payment, I've probably paid a lot more with the flat fee. But.....there was no way around it.

I have to correct my last post, I just checked my claims records...

Apparently it is $140 to see the APRN, and another $250 if a fill is performed. That is a lot of money, but I live in CT and everything is darn expensive in this state.

BCBS MA is billed $130.00. I pay 20 bucks out of pocket. Not sure if the cost would be different if I was uninsured.

Lab - that is PAINful!

My insurance only covered the first fill. Now they are $250 each time.

Has anyone who has ha the surgery changed insurance due to job change? If soo how is the transition to a new insurance company going to affect the fill process.. ? I am soo lost but hate my current job the stress is killing me and Im now not losing any weight! Ive only had 3 fills since I was banded in dec 2012 and Im only down 28lbs. But my current job and my surgeons office schedule almost seem impossible for me to go in monthly. I am fighting for FMLA so I can have the freedom to visit my doc an not lose my job. But I might lose

I haven't done that but my surgeon charges $100 for visits/fills to self-pay patients. My first 2 years are free, after that its $100 per office visit regardless if you get a fill or not. Good luck!

Here in Richmond, VA self-pay has to pay $100 for a fill in the office and $200 extra if it's done under Flouroscopy St St mary's Hospital

Phat dont get discouraged, and you wont fail,

Thank you! Im just hoping this will work for me for the long run. Since my insurance has to approve my fills. Just got approved for 3 more.
