How Much Out of Pocket?

[FlowerGirl44 24]

How much did you have to spend out of pocket up until the day of your surgery? I didn't expect this to be so costly, but I know it'll be more than worth it.

I met my out-of-pocket yearly spending limit of $4200 before ever having my WLS. EKG, Ultra sounds, Cat Scans, sleep study, Stress test, Endoscope, Pulmonary lung testing. The pre-op heart Cath erization procedure put me over the top. Anything medically needed through the end of the year is now covered 100%.

Through testing, I found out I never had COPD, no artery blockages and a hiatal hernia that was causing breathing problems and acid reflux. Fixed. I can breathe again. Exercise, Walk, Shop, Do yardwork, garden. No longer sedentary. So happy and so worth it.

Good luck @FlowerGirl44 with your journey.

$150 administrative fee for me, but everything else was covered 100% through Tricare.

I’m still in preop phase but 0 out of pocket expenses for me since I met my insurance out of pocket cost of 3000 earlier this year. Even if I had to pay the 3000 it would have been worth it in my opinion

Had mine done on an Army base, and it was 100% free. The only out of pocket I had was a $36 copay for my psych evaluation.
