How much did you pay out of pocket? I have blue cross and my plan only covers 80% after my 1500 deductible.

Just curious what others paid. I wont get a solid cost quote for a couple weeks. Also considering self pay in Mex.

By the time Aetna got around to paying the surgeons fees, we had hit the max out of pocket level, so they covered that 100% even though he was out of network. The hospital was in network so that was 80%, so maybe that was $1000 or less (don't really remember now.) That's something to consider if scheduling works toward later in the year.

If insurance is covering it, even if is winds up being a bit more than some of the cheaper MX docs, it's usually worth the extra cost if you can possibly afford it as the aftercare and post op support programs that are usually included can add a lot of value to the process.

$1750, which was the balance of my $2500 out of pocket.

I will double check but I'm certain it is $3500.

Then $3500 is going to be your cost.

My max out of pocket is $6650. Between all the doctor visits and testing I had this year, by the time I got to surgery in August, I gave the hospital $3,000 on admission, and the balance due was less than $100, because I had met my out of pocket max.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
