IPP Cost

Postby SteveTex » Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:34 pm

FYI, the hospital full price quote was $39,000 which is ridiculous because I'm going home the same day. Anyway, my United Healthcare insurance covers it and my maximum annual out-of-pocket is $4,000. so that is most I'll pay for entire procedure.

It is hard to understand why they bill so much when they know the insurance company is only going to pay reasonable and customary charges. They will likely only get half or less of that $39k bill.

My ins. paid Hospital and Dr. $3400 10% of the $34,000 billed, then I paid 10% of that $340 as my co-pay...
