How much was/is yours? If you even had one...Im in the process of trying to get my surgery approved...I have more appointments coming up...i know its a process but its going to be well worth it thats for sure..I CANT WAIT...BUT my out of pocket expense is $600..it covers a couple of things but SHEEESSHH...kinda stressful..i cant even lie..lol

Im thinking about changing my doctor...i know of another place but idk where im at I heard good things too..

Questions..comments are more than welcomed...thank u in advanced

$14,500 self pay... includes all pre-op appts and post-op appts for ONE YEAR.

Yes, please be happy your insurance is paying for a large portion. My hubby's will be covered because he's over 35 BMI, but I was under 35 BMI so I had to self pay. WORTH IT!!!!!

While I am grateful to have some insurance coverage, it isn't great. I will hit my "out of pocket maximum" of $7500 plus any non-covered expense. Again, I am just glad that it looks like I should qualify and will get my sleeve in April.

I have Aetna and my out-of-pocket is $500 deductible + 20% of costs, up to $2000. The most I'll have to pay is $2000, which doesn't seem bad, although I wouldn't mind just a $250 copay.

The surgeon's office is also charging a $350 administrative fee that is not covered by insurance.
