For those with insurance did you pay your portion of the hospital bill up front or did you have them bill you ?

My part was 250, but they never asked for it. I offered to pay and they told me to wait for the bill.

Mine was $250 as well. I had my surgery at Overlake hospital in Bellevue through Kaiser. They asked me when I was checking in if I wanted to pay then and I said no, just send me a bill. I had too much on my mind at the time. :D

I had my insurance deductible all paid up. So there was no bill. But if there was I would always have them bill me. Once I paid them, then after all was entered into the insurance company I did not need to pay them. Took 4 months before I got a check back from them.

I was supposed to pay $300 upfront but they forgot when I went to the START Clinic and I didn't care to mention it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
