beyond furious with Humana

[kyleebean 209]

I received my EOB today from Humana for my surgery in November. Mind you I was in the hospital 4 days and had some serious complications. My part of the bill is 124,950. That's right kids over a hundred thousand dollars. I had a preauthorization, I did everything by the book and now I am stuck with a bill that will bankrupt me. Advice?

That is horsehockey.

My self pay in Neenah WI for a bariatric center of excellence was $18,400.

At the very least ask the hospital/surgeons to charge less down to the same cost as a self pay off the street.

I will definitely talk with the hospital..... Unbelievable. I haven't received a bill yet from the hospital and this is just of the EOB sent from Humana.

It is in your best interest. It raised your blood pressure and caused all kinds of reactions inside your body to get ready to fight.....

Check with your insurance plan. Most have a maximum out of pocket. Mine is $7,000 then my insurance pays the remaining balance at 100%.

OMG...oh boy now that scares me...I am already using a credit card to pay for the deductible and dr visits....Good luck honey...I hope they take off 124k at least

My jaw dropped when I saw that total! Did you speak to them prior to the surgery about what your out of pocket expense would be? Now they know why people go crazy. These insurance companies mess with our sanity!!! OMG I hope that you received that in error!!!

Sorry, I'm paying for my surgery out of pocket. What does EOB mean? My husband and I are both getting sleeved, im a revision and our combined total is less than $20,000

Ask for a line by line accounting for every single charge. You will find mistakes as well as outrageous fees, but stay on them. Keep track of who you speak to, the date and time, and summarize the info after each conversation.
