@babypugs: is that what you will pay or the charges the office submitted to insurance?
-
$0 for well visits...$20 for sick visit
-
$10 for sick visits
$0 for well
$20 for urgent care
$100 for ERThis thread is so crazy to me. People should not have to make medical decisions like whether or not to take their child to the doctor based on a cost before they even do anything!!!!!
-
Works out to about €16 per visit after insurance reimburses us, but that's through private insurance with a private doctor. If we used my public insurance and a public doctor, it would be free.
-
No copay. Our HRA covers everything up to $1000 and once that is done, we pay full price for everything until we meet our deductible. After that we pay 20%.
-
@MamaG: According to our insurance, we're responsible for about $360 of it. On the plus side (I guess...) after this and her follow up, we're close to meeting her portion of the deductible for the year! Silver linings....
-
@LovelyPlum: Agreed. Luckily we have savings, but I'm sure there are many who would not have been able to front it right after the holidays (or at all).
-
@babypugs: I don't think our premiums would be similar. We have a hdhp and our premiums are about 75% less for family coverage than if we had gone with a traditional PPO or managed care insurance (copays and such). We have a HUGE savings on a monthly basis.
-
@Littlebit7: Nope, you're right, yours is probably much less expensive! That's why I'm bewildered by my pediatrician's pricing...for a traditional plan and average(ish) premium, I don't think I should have to pay close to $400 for a sick visit! I'm definitely going to keep calling. Thanks for the responses, folks!
-
@babypugs: hmm that seems weird. Is that what the pediatrician charges or is that the negotiated rate with the insurer? If I was looking at strictly what our ped charges it would be around $400. But we pay the negotiated rate.
-
@Littlebit7 We owe about $360 after the insurance adjustment. I know we're paying most of it since we haven't met our deductible, but $120 for a flu test?! Seems high!
-
@babypugs: yeah something seems wonky with that. It is an in-network doc, correct? That seems like it wasn't adjusted at ALL. Have you had that experience with other docs or just this pediatrician? Small practice or under a large hospital group? We the labs run in house or via a third party?
I'd call your insurance and get someone to explain what each charge was and how each one was adjusted. -
It's always $0 (appointment, shots, labs, surgeries, etc.)
-
We pay 10% of visit cost for sick visits after the deductible.
-
$20 copay but with twins it's $40. That's something I didn't think of. Oh preventative visits or well visits are free. Labs depend on the test and what lab they use. I have to try to stay in network since I have an EPO for insurance.
ER visits are $100.
-
Used to be $25 copay but we got switched to a higher deductible, so I don'tk now. Waah, I don't want to find out b/c we've had to go to the dr ALL the time lately...
