For those that had to pay a coinsurance, was that due before surgery or was it billed to you? I know a lot of companies vary so I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. I'll ask about it at my next appointment. Thanks!

I paid ahead of time, but ended up paying too much and was refunded by the hospital.

Thanks for your response!

A lot of times, they will have you pay your deductible up front but not the co-ins.

I had already met my deductible by time of surgery but not yet hit out of pocket and did have to pay my estimated co-insurance which was overpaid (as the dr ended up filing before the hospital) and I had to get refund from the hospital.

This is what m crossing my fingers for!

Me too. My deductible should be met by the time I'm ready for surgery and I have no co pay so nothing up front would be awesome!

I've already met my deductible. Coinsurance should also be met by the time of surgery. I'm getting bills up to wazoo Lol but nothing required upfront.

I found out that it will be billed to me and then I'll make an arrangement with the hospital. Thank goodness!
