Anyone have any experience with BCBS Federal Basic plan and what you ended up covering out-of-pocket?

So far I have paid 297 in fees for all the drs apps and testing. I have surgery tomorrow and have to pay $150 per day co-pay for hospital stay

Best of luck tomorrow, my date is 10/23. So what about the out-of-pocket maximum. How does that come into play, or does it. I was told i had the 150 surgeons copay, then the woman said the hospital showed 100% covered. but im still wondering if someone is forgetting something. haha

I have paid 35 per office vosit to the surgeon (2) nut was 100% out of pocket. Not always the case. Depends on your surgeons office. 25 for psych visit. I paid 250 for hospital stay in advance then covered 100% after that. Will have to pay my surgeon 150 for the procedure.

All of this sounds like what I was told. Good thing, since I found a roof leak on my house today. Bit stressed about that expense and the surgery date. I dont want anything getting in the way of that.

Does your policy have an out of pocket max amount? Mine has a 5000 OOP Max but I've met it all but $1100 if u have an OOP max balance the insurance pays 100% after u pay the OOP max on your policy for healthcare through out the year. The best thing to do is call your insurance company.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
