Hello All,

I am having the DS on 4/20/2009.  I have Anthem BCBS - - with a 20% copay up to $2000.  With Dr. Maguire you have to pay the copay upfront.

I am just curious how much that might be.  I guess I want to be prepared for the amount. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to call the office you might be able to set up payments.

I had to pay my  co-payment (15%) upfront for the hospital and doctor.  I was able to show that my family had nearly met my out-of-pocket limit for the year and was able to just pay the difference.  My surgery was in November.  My husband had surgery in January - so we paid quite a bit up front for his.

Hello,

I just found out yesterday that all they want is $500 - - that is a much lower amount than the $2000 I feared.

I just cant believe I am finally going to have the DS - - I have waited so long.

It always takes the hospital a lot longer to contact you for their up front part.

I paid my total out of pocket between Dr. Teel (with Maguire) and Miami Valley, both had to be paid by my pre-op testing date.

My surgeon asked for 1000 dollars since I had a 3000 dollar max out of pocket.   Luckily for me the pre-op testing bill was for 5,000 dollars so I didnt have to worry about the prepayment since i met my max out of pocket.

Hello,

I see your surgery is scheduled in 2 days.  I bet you are excited. 

I want to wish you the best of luck during and after your surgery. 

Mine is still 2 mos away but I am sure time will fly by.
