Who pays for fills?

[Moxi 0]

If your insurance covered your surgery, do they also cover all the fills? If not, roughly how much does a fill cost?

Insurance companies usually foohe bill if they covered surgery, but if they do not , then it is up to the patient, and it can get pretty pricey. Hopefully your insurance will cover! good luck to you!

My insurance paid for the surgery and a year of follow-up care, including fills. Luckily for me my new insurance covers fills also. But just to be on the safe side, I have a flexible spending account that will pay for any and all medical bills not covered by insurance. My doctor charges $175.00. This covers office visit and fill.

I asked my surgeon about this because I am unsure about what my insurance situation will be once I get out of school. (I am currently on my dad's insurance)

He told me that he tries to work with patients and that he would make the price reasonable..... I am hoping this is true, lol.

My insurance (Blue Choice) paid for the surgery (including an overnight stay), but they deny fills because they say they don't cover things related to weight loss or weight control. It makes no sense to me to cover a surgery that is adjustable for reason of weight loss because of medical conditions aggravated by excess weight, and then not cover the "adjustments" but maybe that is just me. Who knows how insurance companies think. I am just glad they paid for the surgery. I accidentally got a bill for my first fill, but it was during the 90 day global period where everything was covered under the surgery so they took it off. If I remember correctly, the surgeon billed $200 or so, and after the denial billed me for $97. My second fill should have been billed to me, but I never got a bill (no complaints here). So I just had my third fill about a month ago, and haven't seen anything yet, but expect I will get a hit for $97. Not too bad all things considered.:smile2:

Since my surgery, we have switched insurance companies. They do not pay for fills. I can appeal this. Any idea where I can go for help in writing this appeal? Thanks.
