Looking for a FILL Dr in Ky or TN....
Hello, I had my surgery June 3rd and I dont think I'm ready for a fill just yet but heres my deal. I live in Ky, my best friend had the surgery a year ago and used a Dr in Atlanta. So since she done so well and was comfortable with him I wanted to use him also. I seen him for the 1st time last October by the time I fought my insurance and got approval it was April 2004. So I scheduled my surgery for June. Well 3 days before my surgery the Dr office called to let me know I would have to have $3280.00 up front because the Dr was no longer in BCBS network as of 2004. Well needless to say that pissed me off but I did not want to reschedule my surgery so I borrowed the money. BUT at that time I asked how much out of pocket would I have to pay for my fills and they told me $180.00 since I have to pay 40% being out of network. SO....I call the Dr office last week to see about a fill the 1st of Aug, and they told me as of July the Dr has went up to $1000.00 and my part would now be $400.00 not to mention I drive 300 miles and the gas cost a arm and a leg....LOL. It has just kinda rubbed me the wrong way and I'm looking for a Dr that is closer thats IN the BCBS network that would do my fills. Hopefully I can find one that does them under fluro. Thanks for your help.
