So I just got a phone call from my hubby at work. His employer has decided to change insurance carriers for employees from Ofxord to GHI. Thankfully, I have already had surgery in May, but now I am worried because Dr. Fielding does not take GHI and I do not want to switch doctors.

Does anyone know what a fill/post op-visit will cost without insurance coverage???

I don't know the cost of fills, but I think you should talk to the billing coordinator. I'm sure they will help you. This probably happens all the time.

I have the same issue as you. I have magnacare and Dr Fielding did my surgery right before he dropped it(the same time he dropped GHI) From what I understand, they only charge $100 to patients who do not have insurance. Otherwise, they charge $250 for a fill. So I'm pretty sure you would pay $100 out of pocket. I was banded on 7/7/08 so I am still on my 3 month post op fill schedule that is included with the surgery price. Come Oct, I will also be paying out of pocket. Dr Fielding is so excellent that I really don't mind. I have looked into other DRs but decided not to switch. Call the office to find out just to be sure but that is what I think. Good Luck!!:wink2:
