WOW at the cost



Recommended Posts

I got my statement from my insurance company the other day and I thought that I would share the cost info that I got!

This is a lot more expensive than what I thought it would be!

According to my statement the total amount charged for my surgery..drugs and all $32,000.00!!!!!!! Isn't that alot??!!!

I couldnt believe it!!! My portion :thumbup: $1100.00!!! Now that number is WAY less than what I was told so that part I am totally happy about

It always makes me feel good to see stuff like that. :thumbup: I was banded 2/11 and actually have been looking forward to getting my claim information! I know I'm responsible for $1000.

I saw something similar. The cash price at my doc was something like 14K. The insurance statement was close to 40K. The hospital REALLY cranked up the fees once they knew it was a third-party-pay scenario

I was banded June 21, 2007 and still haven't gotten a bill for my $1000 deductible portion...

Wonder who I should call? I have the $1000 sitting on my flexible spending account card, if I don't use it by March 15, I lose it.

Hi All;

My Co Pay to my Doctor was $236.00 and "0" to the Hospital.

A friend of mine was self pay to the same doctor/Hospital and her cost was $14,900.00. My cost to the ins. was $29,000.00. Of course I had to stay over nite due to 2 hernia repairs.

Still rather strange..............and my insurence is balking at paying for the fills. Call it "Experimental Treatment". Now go figure....why have the surgery if you cant have the fills???

We are fighting them. They should have investigated the whole deal before hand. Right?

Connie:rolleyes2:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
