Fills and how much you pay

ragdollx19 · October 17, 2007

My insurance is paying $560 PER FILL! I am required to pay a $40 copay. It just seems like the insurance is getting really ripped off considering their cash price is only $150.

It really irritates me!

All of my fills are included the first year but I think after that it is $250.

at the University of Illinois at Chicago, they bill my insurance $1000 for a fill. and you can't get in for a fill for months.

Wowser.

All medical things charge insane amounts if it goes through insurance, and it's a lot cheaper if it's self-pay. That goes for everything in that world.

I'm self-pay and if I get a fill, it's suppose to be $50. If it's under fluero, it's $150 (100 for the hospital).

But I got 6 free fills with my surgery.. 4 were wasted, and then I had to have revision port surgery (out of pocket). Doc didn't charge me a fee from him to revise it, but had to pay the hospital $2,000.

So.. for right now I get free fills indefinitely till I make up the $2,000 I had to fork out.

Wow its been awhile since I had a fill but it didn't take me months to get in there. At first I was paying 250 bucks at the 900 office..then finally figured out that I could get insurance to cover it if i went to UIC. Of course they didn't tell me this at first I had to do my research. 1,000!! wow they are screwing the insurance companies big time. But we can't say anything for fear of them not filling us..geezee
