Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 How does self pay work? I think my insurance is going to pay, but I am just curious what I am up against if it doesn't. Has anyone else had BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina? Thanks, Dedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Dedee, I was a self pay and I needed deposits: Durham Regional $11,000. Anesthsia $910. Dr. R. $3450. I've received about $3200. back already from the hospital deposit, but the $910, and Dr. R's is gone !! Trudy Self-pay How does self pay work?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Yes Dedee, I agree it was a lot of money to come up with. But, you know I checked into Laprascopic RNY at the University of Chicago Hospitals, and was flabergasted at the $45,000. cost. I checked into open-RNY at St. 's medical Ctr. in Indinapolis, it was about $23,000. So, actually even tho we have to have it all up front, it's still the cheapest way to go. Not to mention the very best type of surgery we can have for weight loss. I'd do it again in a min. Trudy Self-pay > > > How does self pay work?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Dedee, I don't have BCBS/NC but I was a self pay. 1. Deposit of $900 one week ahead to Durham anesthesia. Balance was $80 - they billed me the same week I arrived home. 2. Full payment up front to Dr. R. With cash discount $3455. 3. Full payment up fron to Durham Regional $11,000. The surgery ended up being $8800 and I am still waiting for the refund. Hope the information helps but hoping harder you don't have to go the self-pay route.
