I'm trying to figure out what my out of pocket expenses are going to be and I'm having a hard time getting an answer from the doctors office...Can any one help? or even give the slightest idea of what to expect???

Thank you!

What does your INSURANCE say? That's where you need to go to find out.

I have spoken to them numerous times and they said it just depends on what the doctor bills. One person said that it would be $1500 max but she seemed uncertain of that answer.

my insurance is 90/10, my out of pocket expenses were 245.00 to the surgeon...and 1450.00 to the surgery center where im having the procedure done...so almost 1700.00...

Ok, no haters, please!

My copay is $25 for the surgery. I have also had to pay a $20 copay for my psych. consult, and seven $25 copays for my six preop visits. Add to that $35 in copays to my PCP and a $25 copay for my EGD, and my out-of-pocket costs will be a whopping $280. There is one pill that I will have to take the morning of my surgery (Emend, anti-nausea med) that my insurance might not cover. If it doesn't that will be over $100, but it will be well worth it.

I feel very blessed! I guess there are some perks for being an underpaid school teacher...good insurance!
