Hi there,

I would ask your doctor. Some doctors include fills in the price that the patient pays for the surgery. Some times insurance will cover the cost, and sometimes you need to pay out of pocket, and I have heard the prices have a huge range from like $100-$500. Although I think paying more then $250 for a fill is too much. But again it depends on your area and your doctor. Your best bet is to ask. Good Luck!

Mine are expensive. $400 w/out fluro and $750 with... I hate going for fills, it drains my paychecks

Hi,

I was done by Ray McHenry this year. I pay $105 each visit, might be $103 and I get it all back from medicare. I am over my medicare threadhold however I think I got all back before hitting that limit, all but $1 or something small.

Regards

I go through ESV and you get 100% back from medicare as they bill 25% under the scheduled fee so there is no gap for us to pay.... you pay them and then go over to medicare and get it all straight back. Lucky us! I've had 12 adjustments so i'd be a bit broke if it was $250 a pop like some other people have to pay.

I pay nothing, it was all included in my up front out of pocket expenses of $3060. They just bulk bill medicare each time for anything for the rest of my life which i think is a pretty good deal.

I paid $2500 upfront for a personal trainer, protein for life and fills up to a yr after surgery. I think after that they only charge for when its flurol(sp?)
