did insurance pay but you still had pay cash?

My surgeon requires $1800 outside of what insurance pays. Every pt required to pay this amount, before you can schedule surgery, to cover the follow-up care.

I'm paying $2100 for the surgeon and then 50% of the rest. My insurance only covers half after my deductible is meet, which thankfully is. Up until then I paid all out of pocket for the pre op tests etc....
