[aland000 0]

HI EVERYONE. i am scheduled to have sleeve revision on may 9. i was wondering will i have to pay my surgeon a co-insurance even after my deductible and in network co-insurance has been met for the year?

the price they are quoting me is the 20% and the cost for s " startup" Vitamin pack. Did is anyone else's surgeon require them to purchase a so called starter pack from their office when you already have the exact same Vitamins at home.( prev band patient)

There are different factors, first is the doctor a participating provider for your insurance. If your deductible has been met and are you refering to your yearly out of pocket has also been reached? If so you should not have any balance with the surgeon. I would suggest you contact your insurance carrier as they can verify for sure if you still have any out of pocket to met. As for the starter pak, unless they require you to purchase you should be able to say no to that. Let them know since you were a band patient that you already have the Vitamins. Good Luck.
