When did you have to pay?

Hey guys, I am posting this in Post Op since I have already had the surgery.

When I went to the original seminar they said that any co payments that you were responsible for would be due at the time of surgery.

My max out of pocket expence is 1500 (down from 3000 last year). So, I figured this would be my final cost since my insurance covers 80%.

Well, when my surgeon sent my prior bill it was only $400.00. So, I am wondering...Is this all I am going to pay, or is someone going to bill me. If there is more to come, when should I expect it, and who will it come from??? Insurance, Surgeon, hospital???

My insurance is BC in California...

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the info! At this point I don't think I care what I have to pay AFTER, lol - I just wish they would tell me what I have to pay before...... the 23rd is too close to stock pile money, I guess I should have been saving for it but I don't think I actually realized I had to payout upfront. :thumbdown:

I think that if you do have something to pay at the time of surgery they send you a notice prior. I received my letter about 3 weeks prior to my pre op appointment and it was due at pre op (cash or credit card).

I think if you havent heard you will not have to pay until after. IMO

I paid my copay ($15!!! Crazy) when I checked into the surgery dept the morning of surgery.

dear Lord! I can't get a prescription that cheap!

don't quit that job

No kidding! All my pre-ops were either $5 or NO co-pays and surgery was $15. All my first year after care visits/fills are free. Good think hubby loves his job because I love the benefits! I don't know if I could've done this without our awesome insurance.
