Posterior hardware removal

Catherine,

From what you're saying on the billing that you've received, your percentage is being paid off the negotiated price the doctor/hosptial has with your insurance company. You should receive in the mail some type of Explanation of Benefits (EOB) that explains what was billed, what the insurance company will pay (This amount becomes the total cost as far as your concerned), your copayment (if any), your deductible (if any), and any amount you have to pay (this would be your 30%). All that should add up to the allowed payment. I know for me, when I got my bill all that was listed on the Explanation of Benefits. For me, I thought I was going to have to pay a percentage based on my plan, but it ended up being covered 100%. There must be some obscure clause in my plan that I missed.

The EOB should make it fairly easy to figure things out. If you're not sure look at the EOB and call your insurance company. They'll be able to answer your questions about billing based on what your policy covers.

Rob,

How are things going for you?

Do you still feel relief after having your hardware removed?

Hi Bob.

How are you feeling now? I am very interested to see how you feel at this point after the surgery. I had my hardware removal surgery on 11/30. It's still hard to tell if I feel better, but I'm hopeful.

Please let us know when you have time.
