Calling all self payers! I've got questions.
zAGGIE replied to alegna242's topic in Insurance & Financing
I am going to be a self payer too. I have bcbs. However, our plan is customized by our employer so lap band is not covered. I have first consultation tomorrow. I was told physician charged 5,000. That had to be paid up front. Then the hospital would set up payment plans for their portion. However, still do not know the $$$$ of the hospital portion. Question: Is there a difference in qualification in an insurance lap band and a self pay lap band? Bmi is 38-40. No co-morbidities yet. -
Hello mountaineers!!! I have my consultation appointment tomorrow with dr. Bali. Excited,nervous,anxious, and curious. Have bcbs, however our plan doesn't cover lapband. Which sucks! Anyone self paying in wv? Anyone familiar with dr. Bali's lapbands in charleston?
