Question:
When you are denied the surgrey does it mean it will not pay for hospital to?

If I am denied ...I understand that it will not pay for the surgrey,but does that mean it will not pay for hospital as well?I can afford to selp pay for surgrey to Surgeon,as well as 1,300 to anthesiolgist,but gee,how in the world I can come up with 15,600 for the hospital bill I have no clue!This is awful!!!!!Does anyone have any clue?or any ideas?Any help or info is greatly appreciated!If I have to pay that much...its almost worth saving up and going out of the Us where its cheaper and can be done everything including travel for 12,000    — jamie H.

Call your insurance company and ask them. Oddly enough, there are some insurances that will not pay the surgical costs but will pay the facility costs.

Yes, if the surgery is denied that means anything to do with it, labs, xrays, test, and the hospital will not be covered. Sorry.

if denied and you have the surgery as a self-pay many insurances will also deny coverage for any complications resulting from the surgery...I'd check that too while I was at it.
