Out of pocket expense...

[aprilapple 1]

I always wondered as I was going through the approval process what my out of pocket expense(s) would be.

I have bc/bs of Alabama PPO (PEEHIP).

Here is my breakdown:

Seminar: Free

6 mos Dr. visits: $180 ($20 copay x 6)

sleep Study Dr. Visit $20 Copay

Required Support Group Free

Nutrition Class $60 copay

Out patient Surgery (Hospital Services) $75 Copay (100% covered)

Out patient Surgery (Surgeon's Services) 100% covered

Fills 100% covered no limit)

Fills Dr. Visit no copay first 90 days

$20 copay thereafter

Total out-of pocket (excluding $20 copay for future fills)=

$335

The cost of being healthy? PRICELESS

I hope that this estimate helps anyone with similar questions.

I am really thankful to GOD that I have good insurance. Since my husband and I both are public school educators we combine our allocations and the state pays our premium. Translation: We pay $0 monthly premium for family health insurance!
