Fill co-pay



Recommended Posts

Just curious what other insurance company's charge for fills. I was SHOCKED???? to find out that my fills will cost me $150... Seems a bit high for a 5 second "in-office procedure"..

Insurance companies don't charge anything, they reimburse or pay on your behalf. Do you mean your co-pay is $150? I've seen where many docs charge up to $250 for a fill. I can understand if it's done under fluoroscopy but if it's just in the office it should be closer to $50. How much is your doctor charging?

It doesn't hurt to ask your doctor if he accepts assignment?

I was told yesterday that they consider it an in office procedure so it will cost me $150 for a fill/adjustment.. Seems like a robbery to me!

It is what it is. You can look elsewhere for cheaper fills and aftercare.

My deductable just went up to 70 dollars. So, guess that's what I'll be paying. It was only 30 dollars last year

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
