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.

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. :D

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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
