GOT MY DATES!!!

I GOT MY DATES TODAY AND I AM GOING TO HAVE PATS ON MAY 21ST AND SURGERY IS JUNE 3, 2009!!! I AM EXCITED BUT NERVOUS TOO!!I was wondering when you find out if you have a co-pay or not? I know I got my surgery date today and Barix said I would get my paperwork in the mail all about the surgery dates and stuff. Is that when I will find out if I have a co-pay to bring with me to PATS??

Congrats Dee...I'll be shortly behind you.  I got my date yesterday.  I'm going in on June 23.
Yay for us !!!

congratulations you are on your way

Congrats for you.

When they send you the paper work in the mail they should tell you what referrals you will need if any and your co=pay if any. BARIX NO LONGER TAKES personal checks. either CC or cashiers check and I think they take money orders
Good Luck

Hang in there, Dee!

Any co pays you have for PATs would be your regular copay amount...minimal $25 or whatever.  During PATs you will go over any financial responsibility you might have that your insurance doesn't cover and what not.

Good luck and congrats!!!

Pam

Oh and the other ladies got the questions - I payed my-copay at PATs - I think that it was $20 - whatever you pay for a specialist.

what are PATS ?
gosh ive known my copay for like 6 months...from teh beginning

Ooh well some ppl say that they had to pay like a couple thousand for a co-pay. That is why I was wondering. But yeah I have a 25 dollar co-pay then if it is just for a specailist appt. But I thought you had to pay for what the insurance company may not pay for also on that day??? I am praying that my dedcutible was met so it will be 100% covered. Then I will not worry about it but when I called them they said I had to pay 20% and they pay 80% unless the 1,000 dollar deductible is met. Well guess what ladies LOL...I looked at my paperwork I get in the mail everytime I have a dr visit or whatever that the insurance company sends me and my deductible is at 1,001 dollars!!!!! LOL. If I am thinking that is what they are talking about then my surgery will be covered a 100% and I will not have to worry about paying anything towards the surgery. That would be great. PATS= Pre-Admission Testings!!!
