swinglifeaway 64 Posted March 22, 2016 For those that had to pay a coinsurance, was that due before surgery or was it billed to you? I know a lot of companies vary so I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. I'll ask about it at my next appointment. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifeofblair 308 Posted March 22, 2016 I paid ahead of time, but ended up paying too much and was refunded by the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisee68 2,493 Posted March 24, 2016 I had already met my deductible by time of surgery but not yet hit out of pocket and did have to pay my estimated co-insurance which was overpaid (as the dr ended up filing before the hospital) and I had to get refund from the hospital.

Donna415 47 Posted March 28, 2016 Me too. My deductible should be met by the time I'm ready for surgery and I have no co pay so nothing up front would be awesome! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swinglifeaway 64 Posted May 12, 2016 I found out that it will be billed to me and then I'll make an arrangement with the hospital. Thank goodness! 1 Aworknprogress reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
