All are different, and it also depends on your particuliar policy as to what coverage you actually have. In other words, we could both have Cigna, but have different co-pay responsibilites. Some have a co-pay for any surgery. I have Cigna and I paid only the $10 copay for an office visit (for clinic). Other than that, I paid nothing, not even to the hospital. Now, others with Cigna have had to pay something. As I say, it is totally dependent upon your exact policy. Also, I hear that Dr R will be requiring a deposit soon (I've heard $1,000). None of this is Gospel, though. Hope it helps. Regards, Debbie in IL MGB 8/10 Cigna approved as " in network " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Hi. I went to clinic in July and don't remember if they asked for my co-pay. You go to Dr. Rutledge's office and get in the system and then they send you to a different building for clinic. If you pay a co-pay, you will pay it at Dr. Rutledge's office before you go to the clinic building. I had my surgery on August 11, and I have a PPO plan which made the surgery in Network, I guess. I did not have to pay anything when I signed in for surgery, but they do ask for your social security card and insurance card. I forgot both of those things, but luckly, they did take me anyway. I have not gotten a letter of payment from my insurance company yet, but all was Pre- certified before I went into the hospital so everything went smoothly. I hav'nt had to pay anything out of pocket yet. Stormy MGB 8/11/00 > Hello All this is my 2nd post on this subject.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 Barb told me that I could call (you have to get the number from her) the surgical nurse after 3:00pm on the eve of my surgery. The surgical nurse can give you the time that you are scheduled for surgery. I was scheduled for 10:30am, but went at 6:30am just in case he got to me sooner. My surgery ended up being at 10:30 anyway. You do just show up at the hospital. The person at the desk when you walk in will help you get to the proper place to be checked in. It was no trouble at all. I stuck my ID in my pocket, and went by myself. My husband and son showed up later. I did not take anything with me. I put on my clothes that I wore in when I left. It could'nt have been easier. Best wishes. Stormy > > > Hello All this is my 2nd post on this subject.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Share Posted August 22, 2000 So I need to go to Dr. Rutledge's office first then they will send me to clinic?
