For those with insurance did you pay your portion of the hospital bill up front or did you have them bill you ?

My part was 250, but they never asked for it. I offered to pay and they told me to wait for the bill.

Billed me

Mine was $250 as well. I had my surgery at Overlake hospital in Bellevue through Kaiser. They asked me when I was checking in if I wanted to pay then and I said no, just send me a bill. I had too much on my mind at the time.

My insurance covered all.

I had my insurance deductible all paid up. So there was no bill. But if there was I would always have them bill me. Once I paid them, then after all was entered into the insurance company I did not need to pay them. Took 4 months before I got a check back from them.

I paid up front the day of surgery but my part was only about $300

I paid USD 6K , hoping to get it claimed in taxes and health services.

I was supposed to pay $300 upfront but they forgot when I went to the START Clinic and I didn't care to mention it.
