cost of implant device
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:41 am
In order to determine if I can afford to go through with the implant procedure, I really have to have an accurate estimate of the cost.
I have a medicare advantage plan here in florida (wellcare), and so far, after a week on the phone to dr. office, hospital, and insurance company, I have found that the hospital copay is $100, the surgeon copay is $50, the anesthesiologist copay is $50. This is all well and good, but the problem is that the device is considered "durable medical equipment", of which I pay 20% of what the insurance co. pays for it.
that's the amount I cannot find out! does anyone have in information on similar circumstances??
