Ok im freaking out right now!!

I got all my bills (or so i thought) after surgery and the total of what i owed was $350. I have the wonderful Federal BCBS basic insurance that pays 100% for participating providers.

Then just today i got a bill for the assistant surgeon and I have to pay $2500!!!! Because he's a NON-participating provider. Well i specifically asked the surgeons office if he was a BCBS participating provider beforehand and was told yes he was.

What do i do now??

Call your surgeon's office and speak to someone in the billing department.
