Does 370 Per Fill Seem Expensive?



Recommended Posts

My insurance wont pay for fills and my Dr charges 370 for first fill 370 for second fill and 265 for any fill after that....my friends Dr only charges 200

What is normal?

Yes, I do... And I also think mine us expensive as well. My surgery was $10,000 and includes 1st fill only. Additional fills are $250. I'm hoping I won't need that many!!

My dr charges $573 to my insurance and then they pay about $350 of that. So that prices seems right. I know that the cost can vary widely.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
