Aetna POS II out of pocket final costs?



Recommended Posts

I was told by the coordinator that I have good insurance and I MIGHT have to pay 1,500 when I get approved. Just wondering what out of pocket costs everyone has had? I don't like surprises!

I have Aetna POS II as well. If I get approved for the surgery, I am only expecting to pay only $100 for the outpatient procedure. You may want to call your insurance company to see for yourself.

I was banded on March 4th using Aetna POS II, and so far have paid about $300, mostly for the Pych eval (which I think I should of contested), and some co-pays for the two sleep test that I had to do. I took out a FMA for $2000 and now have to think of a way to get reimbursed............maybe some Cosmetic surgery? :tongue2:

I know for other surgeries I've had I pay nothing except for a small portion under a hundred dollars. I'm glad to hear that I can expect that again. I will call the insurance to check as well...but I have had positive experiences with aetna!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
