I have Humana POS and I am almost done with the 6 month Dr. supervised visits.  Humana will only pay $5000 towards cost after approval.  I was wondering if anyone had a the same policy and how much the negotiated rates ended up being for Lap Band.  I am looking to have the surgery at Norton Suburban with Dr Geller or Baptist East with Dr Weiss/Oldham.  I am trying to get an idea of how much money I will need to come up with to pay the bills.  Thanks in advance!

I don't know about Humana insurance but will try to find out.  I know someone that has Humana and Dr Geller did her band, I will ask.  My band was done by Dr Oldham. 
Back in 07 there were quite a few bandsters that went to meetings at Norton Suburban and seemed satisfied, with doc.  I only mention them because a few were self pay.  They may have chosen that Hospital and group of doctors due to cost factor.  Maybe someone will check in and give you a heads up.  Wishing you the best.

Thanks!  I appreciate it.  I just noticed that there is an extra "m" in my subject.  Of course I meant to say "Humana".  I am having alot of issues with this site and timing out as I type.
