Guest guest Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I am currently scheduled for surgery on Nov 8th. I have been unable to obtain a pre-authorization from my insurance company(blue cross/ blue sheild). The hospital wants me to pay a pre surgery fee of around $5000. But my doctors insurance person is trying to work something out so I dont have to pay upfront. The only kicker is that the hopital is giving me a break on the payment out of pocket up front and if I dont pay and take a chance on insurance and they dont pay I could be stuck paying 3x what the $5000. Anyone have this type of dealings with hospital or insurance? dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
