I am so confused !

If my insurance policy states that I have to pay 50 % of my surgery.

But, I have an " Embedded coinsurance maxiumum" individual / family $3000 / $6000

Deductable of $500/$1000

Out of pocket maximum $6600 / $1320

BCBS of Mi Simply Blue PPO

How much should I plan on paying ?

I would call the customer service number for clarification. It all gets confusing with the maximum out of pocket vs having to pay 50% of the cost. Someone would be better able to give you guidance.

Good luck.

I tried calling. It just made me more confused. The insurance lady at the hospital is confused for some reason too. I am being quoted between $10000 and down or $49000

I'm confused with that to.

Usually you would not have to pay anything more than your

"out of pocket maximum" once you meet that dollar amount.

I can't see you having to pay any more than that amount even if you have a co-insurance responsibility.

Do you have a broker you work with that maybe can help explain the policy better? If not call back tomorrow & tell them to explain it to you again.

Also if it's through your job, speak to someone in HR or a benefits manager at your company. If all else fails, call the insurance company until you get someone who can clarify and explain in layman's terms the information you need.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
