Payments

[sammi123 116]

I have a question about insurance. I have United Healthcare. Will it cover seeing the nutritionist, and everyone else i may have to see? Will I have to pay a co pay at each visit or is it all one pay?

I was curious. I have been so excited for the surgery that i haven't even given this a thought.

Thanks:)

Honestly it really varies so much you will probably be better off giving your insurance a call and discussing it with them. Your surgery center will probably have an insurance specialist onsite but even then they will need to get the specifics of not only your insurance company but also your specific plan within that company.

I do medical billing and a co payment is required for every single visit.

Some policies however, don’t require co pays for nutritional visits but I haven’t seen much of those.

My insurance doesn't cover the visits to the dietitian, though maybe the post-op visits are covered by the cost of the surgery? They called the first time I went and told me, I said "just bill me," and I have yet to receive a bill.

They will probably bill you for the non covered visits and there should be a 90 day post op after surgery that visits should be covered. I’m not too positive about nutrition visits under the 90 days but I know for a fact that doctor visits would be covered

My nutritionist visit and psych eval was done in my surgeons office, on the same visit. My insurance shows I owe a $20 co-pay, but my surgeon has never collected any payments during my visits, nor sent any bills.

I would definitely call them to make sure you don’t have a balance .
