Check this out. It is the bill from my surgeon:
Arthroscopy, Shoulder, Surgical: $6706.00
Contractual write-off: -$5221.00
Insurance payment: -$148.50
Patient payment: -$77.73 (no idea what this is.)
Balance Due: $70.77
I can handle that! Of course, there's still the bill for the anaesthesiologist yet...
It is ridiculous that the procedure costs $5k LESS simply because I have insurance.
Upon further study, this bill is from the surgical center, and they haven't provided a full itemization of charges. I paid them $155.45 on the day of the surgery, and they are showing a payment of $77.73? I left them a voicemail yesterday asking for clarification.
ReplyDeleteSo, I am still waiting for the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist bills. :-(
