Hi, I have a question regarding federal BSBS insurance. I just recently learned that my co-pay for fills are now $100.00 and was told that this became effective 1 April 2010. It was $30.00 before and now $100.00. They told me that they had to bill it the same as surgery. If you have fed BCBS, please tell me what your co-pay is? I want to know is this across the board or is this something that my doctor office is only doing and if it is, I will be finding me a new doctor. Thanks all!

oh it is true..i wish it wasnt...i was due a fill, but i told them that was to rich for my blood...i had to pay 150 out of pocket for my barium swallow...i was hotter than a firecracker...but the lady said that people have to pay up front and then they will bill the insurance company and will refund the difference once the insurance had paid...i live in dallas -so i am searching for a new dr...

freebird..i called the insurance company and they told me that the dr can decide to bill it as that if they choose to..it is up to the dr office to decide which surgery code to use..so my co-pay is 100. i have been looking for another surgeon in dallas to do my fill...i refuse to pay 100 for fills...that is ridiculous

I was banded 12/18/09 and my starting weight was 193. I have lost a total of 10 pounds. Had my second fill on 2/11/10 and gained 1 pound

The Mexican dish sounds really good...

Best of Luck to you...For me, it was the best decision i have ever made...

I have Fed Blue and i was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted.
