Anyone have any experience with BCBS Federal Basic plan and what you ended up covering out-of-pocket?

Best of luck tomorrow, my date is 10/23. So what about the out-of-pocket maximum. How does that come into play, or does it. I was told i had the 150 surgeons copay, then the woman said the hospital showed 100% covered. but im still wondering if someone is forgetting something. haha

I have paid 35 per office vosit to the surgeon (2) nut was 100% out of pocket. Not always the case. Depends on your surgeons office. 25 for psych visit. I paid 250 for hospital stay in advance then covered 100% after that. Will have to pay my surgeon 150 for the procedure.

All of this sounds like what I was told. Good thing, since I found a roof leak on my house today. Bit stressed about that expense and the surgery date. I dont want anything getting in the way of that.

Does your policy have an out of pocket max amount? Mine has a 5000 OOP Max but I've met it all but $1100 if u have an OOP max balance the insurance pays 100% after u pay the OOP max on your policy for healthcare through out the year. The best thing to do is call your insurance company.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
