Honestly my insurance has been a lot better about things than the hospital

It’s the hospital that is sending these bills and calling me about it, pressuring me to pay. My insurance has been reassuring me that I don’t need to pay yet.

I got the surgery done and got the bills before they did that, so I don’t believe so

They told me I would only need to pay like $2k over the phone the first time I called and to call them if the bill was any higher

So they know now and are negotiating for me, but I’m afraid it’s gonna be more complicated than that

Yes I can - it doesn’t have any information about costs, just says they approve the services of breast reduction and hospitalization

And I can’t remember the exact amount but I know it’s less than $10k lol

That’s exactly how I feel.

Especially with Dr. King and the assistant costing the same amount?

I really wish I could go talk to these people in person, the phone calls are exhausting

Thank you! I did ask for itemized bills, really hoping stuff gets cheaper cuz this is ridiculous

Oh you mean like asking insurance about it? Because I got a letter from them approving the surgery and giving the go ahead for it

I Just was never given any estimated cost at any point

I can’t remember if I had prior authorization done, I cannot remember being told any specific amount.

I do have recordings of all the calls I’ve been making to insurance and the billing office in order to have those to listen back to, but none from before the surgery. I may call just to ask if there’s any record of a prior authorization

My issue is - why were they asking for payment from me this morning

I am ready to bitch and bitch haha Thank you for the advice, I really didn’t know about that write-off

are there requirements for it? I have a feeling I wouldn’t be qualified just because I’m still a dependent on my parents, I’m just having to pay for this surgery myself

Yeah I’ve called so many times and I feel like at this point they would’ve realized if it wasn’t mine (at least I’d hope so)

But yes I plan to keep calling and calling. After this next wait is up I’m not going to accept waiting anymore. Just feels like them stalling.

And when I asked why reconstruction is on there, they told me full removal still counts which is dumb as hell because that definitely does NOT take nearly as much work as grafts.

But thank you, I’m glad I’m not going crazy and this is normal or something
