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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
