Re: long term results

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

i have met Dr Quinn. She is very nice. She assisted Dr Herron in my

surgery, along with Dr Pomp. She also visited me in the hospital over the

weekend as it was her turn to cover. She put me through 3 leak tests because

I had a clot in my stomach in the first one and the liquid did not pass

through. When I mentioned it to Dr Herron on Monday about the 3 tests, he

just grinned and said she was super particular about things.

I got a seperate bill for the anesthesiolgist. It was $4200.00. They

said I was to pay the whole thing to them and my insurance would reimburse me

for the portion they cover. I have not sent the money yet, because I want to

double check with my insurance first. My coverage was 80/20 because I went

out of network, which I knew. I just did not know I would pay a hunk like

that up front and wait for money afterwards. The hospital just billed me for

the difference which was a little less than $2000.00. Radiology was

seperate also, but it was just $150.00. I am wiaint for the biggy...the

doctor bill.

Hope this helps.

The anthesthesiologist was not a ppo with bcbs and she did not participate in

their plan so she expects you to pay her bill in full...whatever is not paid

by insurance.
