So I had to nag then to get a refund. Went to the same ENT for DS and paid nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2370409 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 00:34:06 +0000 erinpye 2370409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close to $1k total. It was worth every penny for the difference it made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2370319 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:37:06 +0000 YouGotMe 2370319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a dentist so it was $600 total paid for at the time of the visit. Paid $120 after insurance. </p> <p>Could have done it for free (Canada) but LO's doctor suggested the dentist as it heals quicker and we did have insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2369026 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 08:22:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2369026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Done at the hospital, we didn't pay anything because we'd met our OOP max, but I think the bill was $700? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368951 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 04:55:05 +0000 lamariniere 2368951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw an ENT in a private practice who was recommended by the hospital LC. I think we paid about $250 out of pocket and most was reimbursed by insurance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368905 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 00:29:08 +0000 Corduroy 2368905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing for either kid.

We paid our $35 copay at the time of the procedure. He billed us the 20% we were obligated to pay after it went through insurance. Ended up being about $120. Even if I had to pay for the procedure completely out of pocket, it was totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368445 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:06:15 +0000 Mae 2368445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$500ish.

We had it done by a local doctor who specializes in breastfeeding issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368394 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 14:28:26 +0000 fussygal 2368394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember how much insurance covered (not much), but we paid around $650 out of pocket. We saw an ENT, although it was highly suspected by two different lactation consultants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368273 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 13:31:00 +0000 blackbird 2368273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time, saw an ENT. Neither of the two peds in the hospital wanted to do it. Said it was "insignificant". Our pediatrician disagreed. It was $33, which was our 10% responsibility for the procedure. Then it was $36 to have it re-done (with a laser) by a family practice NP who specializes in this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368272 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 13:30:53 +0000 Torchwood 2368272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We maxed out out of pocket with the nicu stay, so it didn't cost us anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368246 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 13:13:08 +0000 Maysprout 2368246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None of the pediatricians at the hospital or afterwards liked the idea so it seemed like our best bet would have been to go to an out of network family dr who the lactation consultant recommended. I think it would have been a few hundred dollars. We didn't end up getting it done, I just pulled her top lip out for her when she nursed for the first couple weeks then she figured it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368122 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:49:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2368122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw an ENT. I think it's few hundred max. Probably less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368115 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:45:12 +0000 hilsy85 2368115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a $35 copay I think? Rest was coveted.

We paid 20% for the procedure, I just pulled it up - procedure was just under $700, we paid around $120 out of pocket after insurance.</p> <p>Note: it was done by our pediatrician's office by the on staff doctor who is assigned to our delivering hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-did-you-pay-out-of-pocket-for-tonguelip-tie-consult-and-procedure#post-2368050 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 11:07:34 +0000 MusicaV 2368050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How much did you pay, and how much did your insurance cover? Did you see an ENT or pediatric dentist? Did you have to pay at the time of service? </p>
