amanda365 0 Posted March 27, 2011 I am paying cash for my lapband. But they are requiring that I pay for my own bloodwork. Does anyone know how much this usually is? And what kind of tests they do? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopetolose 192 Posted March 27, 2011 If you have insurance, I made a physical and had them do it there and just gave them a list of what was needed by my surgeon. Hopefully this works. I am self pay also. I did the pulmonary (spell) test also with my physical. We will see if it works. I am going to submit my psych eval to the insurance to. Might as well see what they will pay for. Anything will help, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fefebutterfly 7 Posted March 27, 2011 Hello, I have insurance but I still got the bill that gave the total paid by the insurance company. In addition to bloodwork there is Radiology, Cardiovascular testing, sleep study, Nutritionist, and psychological consult. I only had to pay out of pocket the co pay, but total cost was approximatley $3500.00 here in North Carolina. I hope this helps. I still got a couple pre op visits before my surgery so it may be close to $4000 or more. _FeFeButterfly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
