I am getting banded aug 5th and was at my surgeons office today for final clearances. I was also informed that my fills are not covered u der insurance and will cost 155 per fill.

Has anyone had to pay for fills? And if so is 155.00 normal?

Mine are $425 until my $6000 deductible is met! Good grief!!!

I called my dr's office. They had the front desk lady call me back to explain that I can go for another fill in 3 weeks. They have to call to get it authorized via my insurance first. Wow! Crappy customer service at its finest. I have a real issue here and they want to give me another fill. I'm thinking she took more out of me then she says she did just do I have to go back in for another fill. Who knows how much their charging my insurance. I'm about sick of this lapband. I just wanna have it taken out. I felt better when I was fat. This is just a headache.

Omg it gets worse! I called my dr yesterday to explain what I'm paying for each fill and I asked how much the fill would be if I was a cash patient and they said only $110!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here I am, going each month paying through to nose and I could have been paying 1/4 of the cost. They won't provide further discounts or refunds but good freaking lord, are you kidding me??!!!?!

That's BS that they charge cash customers one rate and insurance companies another. Again, policies like that are what drive up insurance rates and yet all people do is b***h about how greedy the insurance companies are. Sigh.
