Topic: RE: My HMSA cost
You are so very lucky, Asia! My insurance wouldn't cover anything done outside HI even though Dr. Cirangle comes here. Go figure! (although they did cover my pre-op testing and meds)
The cost of my surgery replaces a new car for a few years, but the way I look at it, I can walk now if anything happens to my current car!
I hope you're feeling well and taking things slowly. The next few months will be so exciting.... along with the rest of your new life!
((hugs))

Topic: My HMSA cost
Since half of Hawaii has HMSA I decided that I would share. My hospital bill came out to $1950.00 This is a little more expensive than the regular because I had to stay and extra day. I think my bill would have be $1500 if it was only one day. I had to pay a 20% co pay for hospital stay. My procedure was covered and so was all the other stuff that they needed during surgery.
The hospital is going to bill me so guess what I will take my time.
Aloha,
Asia

Topic: I'm Home!!!!!!
I am doing great. I stopped the pain meds yesterday. I am actually not in pay at all. Even the gas pain is not that bad. I just feel like I ate a whole thanksgiving turkey. I am on clear liquids for awhile because my stomma is a little tight but that is ok. I get full off of one oz and I only can drink 4 oz in 1 hour. It takes 15 minutes for my stomma to empty.
Aloha,
Asia
