MMPC, PH, VSGer's--May I ask a $$$$ ? ?

My parents taught me never to ask what things cost but I'm thinking this would be under the topic: "shopping around"???   LOLOLOLOLOL I have PH  (HMO)  any idea what my total out of pocket will be?  I do not have a deductible. MMPC + Blodgett + Labs + Anesthesia Thanks,

I posted a response to ya on the VSG forum!

Barix clinic 17500.00 for everything including your fill's for one year

I would call Priority Health.  My boyfried had neck surgery 4 months ago, the only thing that applied to his coinsurance was the hospital fees and Anesthesia charges.  The physician fees - MMPC - does not apply to coinsurance.  Labs are included in Blodgett bill.   

You can also go online to Priority Health, and check your benefits.  Look for the section - "Out of Pocket for Contract _______________ - The individual Out of Pocket should be the max you will pay for Blodgett and the Anesthesia services.  I would also verify with them if Weight Loss Surgery is paid at your normal coinsurance level or at a lower level.  Some may only pay at 50% rather than the 80%.  If this is the case, your 50% responsibility does not accumlate toward your Out of Pocket.
