BLUE SHIELD GOLD CO PAY



Recommended Posts

Can anyone shed light on how much their surgery was? I have blue shield gold h m o 500/35 and was told they cover the doctor's fees but I am responsible for 20% of the hospital stay. Can anyone share how much they paid for surgery or give me any insight on how much $$$ I should prepare?

Thanks!!

My insurance was covered but I had to pay my deductible. When you call your insurance you should be able to ask how much you except to pay to meet the deductible.

For me it was 1500 deductible I had already met 200 of that so I paid 1300 for my surgery. Surgery itself was 32k.

My deductible is $500 and OOP Max is $6,500. They said I am responsbile for 20% of the hospital stay, whatever that amount is. Professional fees they cover.

Thanks for your response, really appreciate it.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
