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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
