I just found out that after insurance i would still owe about23,000. I feel deflated
One idea...see if you have a catastrophic protection clause. Many policies do an that sets a maximum out of pocket that you would have to pay in a single year. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Wow!!! My whole procedure cost $28,000 which I paid my out of pocket cost of $1500. Your insurance definitely sucks!
$23,000 (twenty-three thousand) ?? AFTER insurance. Ummm...that is basically not covering the surgery.
I went to Dr. Nicholson in Dallas and paid $12,200 (with airfare and meds, probably close to $13,500-$14,000). He's an excellent surgeon by the way and I couldn't find a single bad thing about him....PM me if you need more info. I don't subscribe to every thread and don't always remember to check back.
Good luck.
After i already went to preop testing at another location and paid the new location., then the insurance precert person from dr risso's office in Charleston said since they are in network the doctors portion would be 1,000 instead of 8,000 but she couldnt tell me about any other cost such as hosp, RD, testing ect. I will be paying 12,000 self pay at the new location in Charlotte, NC but they have their shit together. They sent me a break down of cost before first appointment.
My insurance is BCBS but my employer sets the specifics and they only cover 50% up to 10,000
