Insurance Vs Self Pay

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

Also, there are a few of us who, although we can afford self pay in the states, we prefer our MX surgeon. (and Cordinator)

BliS insurance covers you for complications that may arise from surgery. If you have a complication (leak, stricture, bleed, clot in leg, pulmonary embolism, etc...) who pays for the care for that complication? If you have no coverage you may be surprised to find out that you are on the hook, even if you have general medical coverage through insurance. That can be financially disastrous. Thankfully complications are pretty uncommon. You can check out if your surgeon carries BliS by contacting the company via the internet. I provide a complimentary 90 day coverage policy for my patients and thankfully have not had to use it but its better to be covered in my opinion. 8000 for the hospital, surgeon, anesthesia and pre-op and post-op care is a great price! Best of luck to you on your journey!

That is a good question for me to ask. As I am unsure. I know that my follow up care is included. I just got my bill this morning to prepay, and with insurance getting some of the cost because of the other things they are fixing, I am paying $7,125.00.

So your insurance is paying for part of it? I called them and they quoted me a different price. Their website says 10,900 I believe.

Yes, and I signed with them before they went up just recently. Insurance is covering the part for the hernia repair and gallbladder removal. This brings my cost down some. They will work with you on the cost. I have benn so pleased with the assistance they give.
