marfar7 1,533 Posted July 22, 2012 Im almost 3 yrs post op and began having problems with my band about 4 mths ago. Seems like I see the dr often now. And each time its a 6 hr round trip and $160. My insurance only covered the first yr of fills. This is costing a fortune. And theres no end in sight. Just criuos as to if my dr is charging a reasonable amount or not.

honk 780 Posted July 23, 2012 My doctor charged the insurance like $250 for the office visit and an additional 200+ for the fill. I have restriction so I have'nt been back since I lost my insurance that covers the fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathylife 12 Posted July 23, 2012 50 co pay, insurance pays i think 200, so 250 total Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jellyfish 17 Posted July 23, 2012 I'm not self pay, but I asked on one of my visits how much my fills would be if I ever found myself without insurance, they told me fills would only be 40 bucks. I'm somewhat skeptical since it seems to be a LOT lower than anyone else charges, but that's what she told me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittyforet 50 Posted July 23, 2012 I'm self pay and done with my free year. True Results Houston has several options...prepay 6 months for $240, monthly draft your bank $40 for a minimum of 6 months with no refund, or pay as needed $125. My insurance doesn't cover any of it.
