Good evening!I am pre-band. Hoping to have surgery sometime in February.
My doctor has told me that he performs fills through x-ray.
Is this considered an outpatient procedure? I have Anthem BC/BS and outpatient procedures have a $100 co-pay.
Is the about the normal cost of a fill?
:help:
I also have anthem bc/bs and I believe my max out of pocket for the year is $5000, with the surgery I should have no problem getting to that number, so I don't know if fills will cost after reaching the max out of pocket. I would love to know the answer to that as well.

I am sorry to hear your problems. After reading the behavior of this Dr. Maese in this thread I was going to suggest you contact the medical board, etc. So good for you! Don't be a doormat or bow to the intimidation of some ass*ole doctor. I would also consider a malpractice lawsuit to stir the pot as well. Doctors constantly complain about the cost of malpractice insurance. His negligence is a perfect reason for him to make sure his premiums are paid up.
