How Many Different Bills Did You Get?



Recommended Posts

So the first bill has rolled in. $15k (mostly covered by insurance) for the surgery, room, drugs, etc. I'm wondering how many more bills I'll get -- from the doctors themselves, maybe?

How many different bills did you get? I'm wondering how much more we'll have to pay before this is all over.

I got 1 so far which was the hospital bill for $9,900.00. I expect a bill from the physician, anesthesiologist, lab and radiology. Thankfully I have great insurance and had to pay nothing.

The only bill I've received so far was for $47,000 I had to pay $0 insurance actually paid $4400. I believe this was the hospital bill only.

I am assuming you made sure your insurance paid for this operation. I have only received a 200 co-pay for the surgeon, a 200 co-pay for my hospital stay and a 35.00 nurse visit charge for my 2-week f/u.

If you are receiving bills, and your insurance was to pay, then you need to get ahold of them because they need to make sure they put in the correct codes.

I wasn't expecting any bills since I was told my insurance was covering everything. But three weeks ago I received a bill showing my surgery was over 57,000 and my portion was $250. Well we got on the phone immediately and were told that the portion that was 100% covered was the doctor portion and that we would get a bill from the hospital and the happy juice guy. I was not happy because I would have been putting money away from day one. Well when we spoke with our insurance we were told that the $250 bill is the only bill we will receive. So I guess overall not to bad for everything.

It depends on the insurance. I have a $1000.00 copay for a hospital stay. I paid $150 the day of surgery so I received a bill for $850.00.

So far we've gotten a bill for about $500. Not bad at all, and I knew our insurance didn't cover everything. Just wondering if we'll get more and more bills for other things rolling in...

I've been billed for my portion of pathology and anesthesia, from my Nov 13th surgery. I know I'll get something from the hospital. Will have to see what else comes in...

I was billed over $600.00 for my blood work. I was too told that my insurance covered this procedure. I know that I will end up paying something so I'll just have to see.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
