Claim Form HELP

[colomomof3 0]

Hi everyone,

I self-paid for my surgery in July but was told by my insurance company that they would pay for it. Of course it is never that easy! I have to fill out the claim for myself as the surgeon I used charges a flat fee and does not deal with insurance. Any help or ideas? I have the CPT code for the lap-band surgery. Do I need to add a code for anesthesiology? Other ideas? I'm not even sure what to put in as charges since there was 1 flat fee paid. Any advice or anyone have the codes they used on hand? I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks!!

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY CAN'T YOU CALL THE SURGEON'S OFFICE WHO IS DOING THE SURGERY & GET THE CPT & DX CODES FROM THE PERSON WHO DOES THE BILLING??

The doctor charges a flat fee and has some type of deal with everyone involved. He does not deal with any types of insurance;hence me trying to figure it out on my own. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle but I'm not ready to give up yet.
