How much do your fills cost?



Recommended Posts

I currently have Anthem Blue Cross and I am unsure what type of visit insurance companies consider a "fill" (office visit, specialty visit, etc).

I was wondering, what are the typical cost associated with getting your 'fill/unfill'?

Please note if you are self pay or if your insurance covers it.

Thanks!!! :P

I am with United Healthcare and my fills are covered 100%, no co-pay. I know that according to my EOB reports, my insurance company is charged $200 for a regular fill (a fill with no fluoro)

My doc only does fluro fills. If you are self pay it is 150$. Or they bill your ins. Well with my INS until we meet our DED we pay the contracted rate, then after the DED we pay 15%. So until DED is met we pay like 250$ a fill, but after it is met we pay like 25$. They offered to let us do self pay even with INS but since I wanna get my DED met I will pay a bit more up front now for better savings later.

I am self pay.

My first fill of one cc was done in surgery.

My second fill was under fluro and was $750.

I have arranged with a PA to do any future fills - he charges $135.

Depending on whether or not and exam is billed along with the fill, my copay is either $35 or $150.

If I pay cash instead, it's $100. I will probably just pay cash when they start coming out of pocket.

$750!!!!! Well I hope you got your money's worth and not just a mere cc or something! That's criminal. My fills are also under fluoroscope and are $100/cash.

That doctor was/is a crook. Insisted that I sign up for his aftercare program for $1750 even though I live three hours from his office and would not be able to attend the meetings or use the gym or... well, you get the idea.

I fired him.

Good for you! I'm telling you, nowadays if we don't take our health into our own hands, we end up getting ripped off or not cared for properly!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
