have you had your surgery yet? have some questions for you

I do.

No surgery yet, they just threw a 6 month diet and exercise requirement at me 4 months after telling me it wasn't a requirement. I was all set for surgery this month too. Now I need to meet my deductible all over again.

I guess you really wouldnt know the answer I need. my surgery date is Dec 31st 2012, the surgeon bills the insurance the same day as the surgery, I have met all my deductibles this year but now I am afraid it will mess me up. surgeons office doesnt think it will, but yet I think i am going to be screwed and have to start my deductible all over again

I have UHC. I had my surgery Nov. 2nd. I don't understand it too much. My mom and I called in and she asked them questions to better understand everything with the billing. I think that is the best thing you can do!

Sorry no I don't, I would call UHC and ask them

I have UHC. Had surgery 10/1 got my bill, out of 29,898.00 my portion was 1,200.00 with lap-RNY.

ok so I called them, my deductible is paid, so now we are at 80/20, but my question is how would they bill me. I was afraid since the surgery was on 12/31/12 i would get screwed out of my deductible.

the surgeons intake person that handles all the insurance stuff said that she bills the insurance same day as the surgery. I should only be in the hospital over night an out on January 1st,

the MY UNC told me that if they bill on december 31st that my insurance will cover for 2012. but if I have to stay in the hospital january 1st 2013 at night to january 2nd then my insurance will split pay for surgery on 2012 pay for exyended stay in hospital 2013, so I think I will be ok.
