Re: Dr. Keshishian's Post Op Charge for Cash Paying Out of Area - Clarification

[Guest guest]

Jacqui,

I like it being done that way. I wish it was submitted

to my insurance that way. I sent them the cost

seperatly and they denied that portion. If it was in

the total bill it would of been covered.

: If you re-read the post it states " who are paying cash " . This

does not apply to how they are billing for the " insurance " patients.

Since as a general rule insurance will not cover this charge. We are

billed seperately, making US responsible for the $2000 and not the

insurance co. Since the self pay patient is responsible for the

total charge they have rolled the $2000 into the grand total.

It sucks having to pay, but hey " I'm worth it " and the rest of you

are too!!!!!!!
