Confused about my insurance verification form. I see a number at oop, a different number for oop met and hospital copay. I understand the hospital copay, but not totally sure about the other two. Does anyone know how to interpret? I feel silly for asking.

Why isn't your surgeon office filling these forms out for you?? My surgeons office dealt with my insurance company in my case.

Your insurance usually has a website to go on to find this information. OOP is your out of pocket, this is the amount you must pay out of pocket and usually once it is met you pay zero depending on your plan. The oop met means how much of your out of pocket expense you have paid so far. I hope this helps.

My surgeons office did call the insurance company and they sent me the verification form. I just wasn't sure about my oop total. There were a few terms I was unfamiliar with. I will call tomorrow to get clarification but thought I'd get some input here.

Thanks all!

Ok, so it looks like if I have the surgery before the year is out, I'm looking at about $800ish oop. However EVERYTHING changes with the hubbs insurance at the first of the year. Called surgeons office to get more clarification and left a message. My face right now? :-/

On another note, I had a baby this year as well as in 2011 and I believe that has something to do with my oop amount. So if you have recently had a baby might wanna take that into consideration.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
