Self Pay Billing Surprise

[beanie80 146]

I was banded on July 26th and am self pay. I did my due diligence and got quotes for costs on everything before my banding. Well today I received a bill from American Anesthesia of NC and it was for $2800. $1000 more than what I was originally quoted. I called the billing department, spoke with a manager and they said they would charge me for the original quote of $1800. Just wanted to share that it pays to do your homework beforehand and to call and ask to pay for the original quote only. Saved me 1k!

Oh wow, that is great that you were able to get that settled. I would have been upset, but you are right.. the more research and questions we ask the better to end up! Glad everything worked out for you!
