Hospital bill

[beachbum112 0]

My insurance was billed $41,890 and I still have to pay $2950.00. This seems astronomical compared to self pay. I know they bill they ins. companies way more, but why should I still have to pay thousands when I have insurance???

Sounds like that insurance company is being ripped off. And so are you!

I paid $3000 to the clinic and just got a bill for $610 for the anestesia. I have crappy insurance and am quite surprised they even covered WLS.

I have insurance, but my policy has a 20% copay with surgery. I am self employed and have an individual policy so I was thrilled WLS was covered at all.

I expect my OOP costs to run about what yours do and know I'll have to set up a payment plan with the hospital.

I have insurance also, but my doctor is out of network. I'm having to pay about $2700 - not including all of the pre-op bils.
