Out of pocket expense?

[jenbaby75 283]

Mine will be 2,700. That includes 2 years of after care with the surgeon, nut, psych, and fitness chica. I enrolled in FSA to help pay for it.

$14,500 self pay... includes all pre-op appts and post-op appts for ONE YEAR.

Yes, please be happy your insurance is paying for a large portion. My hubby's will be covered because he's over 35 BMI, but I was under 35 BMI so I had to self pay. WORTH IT!!!!!

While I am grateful to have some insurance coverage, it isn't great. I will hit my "out of pocket maximum" of $7500 plus any non-covered expense. Again, I am just glad that it looks like I should qualify and will get my sleeve in April.

I have Aetna and my out-of-pocket is $500 deductible + 20% of costs, up to $2000. The most I'll have to pay is $2000, which doesn't seem bad, although I wouldn't mind just a $250 copay.

The surgeon's office is also charging a $350 administrative fee that is not covered by insurance.
