I am going for pre op this Thursday.
Back when I first called about this I said to the nurse lady who takes all the info at the start I have blue cross blue shield state.  Oh ok great.  With me having high blood pressure it won't be a problem. 
Ok so we discuss that out of pocket it will be about 500.00 due on pre op day.  Ok not a problem.  I keep that on the side and proceed with this journey. 
The nurse at my regular dr office has the same ins and same thing.  had to pay the 500 and she got some of it back.  Ok great.  I go april 20th to meet the surgeon get a date May 12.  Well friday I call BCBS and was wondering if they could tell me if it was approved.  They said it was being processed and it was just submitted April 28th!!!OMG why so long???? ok so yesterday I get a letter in the mail that my portion for the surgeon due on pre op day is 1020.00!!!! What the heck???? Due that day no exceptions.  Well guess what??? It aint happening.  First of all why the increase?  I am thinking it is the dectuable and the 20% I have to pay out of pocket which is fine but it woudl of been nice to let me in on that part!!! There are 7 doctors at this office, 3 of them do this surgery.  It just seems like there is a awful lot for 1 case. 
So I am hoping they will wait 12 hours till friday to be able to submit the other 500.00.  I will know more tomorrow!! Ugh this just needs to be over!!!
