i know each plan is different but our plan covers 80% of in network once deductible has been met. anyone know roughly what a sleeve costs? do most places let you make payments on your balance before or after the surgery?

i go to my consultation this week so i will get more answers soon enough...im just getting antsy and want answers :).

I have BCBS of IL PPO, I had called and they advised me that they will pay 80% of the surgeon's fees but only 60% of the Hospital as it is out of network, but I have a $6000 out of pocket limit and a $1000 deductible (which I've met already), so I figure $6000. The surgeon's office has never asked for any money, and they only require $350 for the pre-op kit they want me to use. To get the whole cost you would have to get the surgeon's fees, the hospital's fees, the anesthesia fees, etc.

good luck at your consultation!

My insurance covered at 80/20 with an oop max of $2,000, after a $0 deductible. My hospital just required deductible paid in full, day of surgery, however I have not gotten my bill yet so I'm unsure what the total cost is.
