All insurance is different, I just don't think it would be odd for someone to think a circumcision would be covered (in the u.s. anyway!) ETA: and definitely at least worth double-checking before paying the full bill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452996 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 19:51:32 +0000 catomd00 2452996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: to be fair, there are plenty of treatments and procedures doctors recommend/prescribe that insurance doesn't cover. Routine infant Circumcision for the majority of people is considered an elective procedure, so I think it's reasonable to assume it wouldn't be covered. </p> <p>A lot of times, it may be covered in one setting but not another (eg at the hospital before discharge, but not at the peds office after, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452964 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 18:36:06 +0000 mrsjyw 2452964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Covered 100% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452810 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 14:31:56 +0000 MrsF 2452810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Covered 100% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452801 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 14:22:24 +0000 clover 2452801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Covered 100% </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452763 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 13:43:02 +0000 MrsSCB 2452763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Given that the AAP and CDC both recommend it (or at least say "the benefits outweigh the risks") I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to think insurance would cover. That being said, I have no idea whether my insurance does or not... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452671 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 11:35:21 +0000 BandDmommy 2452671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Worrywart: sounds like insurance mix up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452664 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 11:21:38 +0000 sarac 2452664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't expect insurance to cover an unnecessary procedure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452597 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 09:34:53 +0000 LCTBQE 2452597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB just sent me a packet of their estimated costs, and if not covered by insurance they charge $500. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452593 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 09:28:04 +0000 BandDmommy 2452593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$0 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452588 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 09:25:52 +0000 simplyfelicity 2452588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$0 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452574 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 09:07:33 +0000 Alba4 2452574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure it was covered by insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452509 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 07:49:52 +0000 catomd00 2452509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't apply to us, but it would be $500 if it did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452505 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 07:40:11 +0000 Worrywart 2452505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnleaves: I'm thinking this is an error and they billed it under my sons name before he was added to insurance.

Our insurance said they don't cover it since it's a cosmetic procedure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/circumcision-costs#post-2452465 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 05:16:40 +0000 Worrywart 2452465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who had your sons circumcisions done while in the hospital, were they covered by insurance? We just got a bill for $650 for my 6 week olds and I'm shocked!! </p>
