Unfill. What is the cost?



Recommended Posts

I think I am needing a slight unfill. Most of the time, it can be hard to eat. I didn't know if it cost anything to get an unfill? It doesn't matter because I think I may need one, but I was curious.

I hope maybe .10 taken out will help tremendously. Also, any advice from those who have had one? This is my first time getting an unfill.

Thanks!

I've never had one, but I would guess the cost would be the same.

I've been lucky. My doc has not charged me for an unfill.

I was thinking they wouldn't charge me for it, but I don't know. I had a year of 'free' fills, and the last fill I got was my last 'free' one so we shall see. I hope it isn't much.

I had an unfill one time. For some reason my insurance only paid part of it. They will pay full for a fill though.

If filing a claim with insurance, technically the codes are the same whether Fluid is inserted or removed, and lawfully the fees should not be different. HOWEVER This doesn't mean the individual doctor isn't offering some special pricing or billing as an office visit so the fee is lower. Basically you should ask the office for their policy and price for an unfill :)

Just taking a tiny bit out can make a huge difference. My Dr. does not charge for unfills.
