Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 I was a little distressed about the $4500 fee I was charged for my surgery for aftercare. Since this was the only doctor that participated with my insurance, I figured it was cheaper than self-paying. I just got a statement from the insurance company and of the $11,000 doctor fees, they approved $1,500. Since my surgeon has to accept their approval, that is all he gets. My share (deductable) was $134. For me, the support group is very close to home and I find it very helpful. Since I have met my out-of-pocket max for the year, all my remaining medical care for the year is free. With two small kids, that can really add up. I would have rather not paid the $4500, but it was more than worth it to have my life going in the direction it is. Kathy M.
