Calling all post-ops - Insurance question

[Guest guest]

When and I spoke to Durham Anesthesia yesterday

they said that even when the ins DOES pay - they pay

very little. Something like $200 of the $900 bill

which is why they feel like they have to change their

policy.

Any of you have any info on this?

Christy - You have Aetna, too. Have they paid your

anesthesia yet? Aetna told me I was covered 90%.

I don't blame them for changing their policy - just

seems like they could have made this decision and

started it at a future date so we have time to get it

together. 3 weeks isn't much time to come up with an

additional $910 on top of the other deposits AND

traveling expenses. My co-worker is scheduled for

12/8 - just 5 days before me - and she doesn't have to

pay this deposit.

I am checking on borrowing from my 401K. Not even

sure I have time to go through that whole process

within 3 weeks.
