Guess how much my surgeon's office wanted to charge my insurance?

Well in my state the reimbursement rate for people on state aid is horrid, hence the overcharging of people with insurance - not exactly a great way to recoup money, but our state requires all insurance to cover bariatric surgery. People on state aid insurance pay a whopping $386. I pay insurance premiums plus deductible, plus meet out of pocket cap - about $7800 total for the year (last year) - surgery total was over 60,000 billed to insurance.

So probably none of you know about specialized hearing devices but I have a titanium bolt 4mm in my skull. Fun the reason for this is it attaches to a sound processor that allows me to hear like a super human. But for the bolt and the processor combined it’s 14,000 that doesn’t count or fee dr fee anesthesia which honestly they should have just numbed my skull cus I was awake for half of it anyway

I'm guessing you have a baha? I'm a sign language interpreter and know a few students that have them.
