Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply! Do you mind if I ask how much it cost?
Avatar m tn Thank you very much for the reply, I will get the refraction information and reply. What I know from my recent vision test is that I am seeing 20/20 out of my RE with the monofocal IOL. I currently wear a contact lens in the LE for distance vision, the prescription is -4.50. With the LE contact lens in I wear reading glasses of 1.75 for computer use & reading. At night with my LE contact lens removed I read comfortably with my LE only.
Avatar n tn Should I send a letter of explanation to my insurance company for an evaluation done at Columbia University? I had to pay $4,000 out of pocket for my evaluation and need to get reimbursed by my insurance. I'm wondering if it would be better just to send in the "bare bones," i.e., receipts and medical claim form without any explanation? I don't want to give them any reason to deny me....Any thoughts?
Avatar m tn So you have submitted your receipts to the insurance company for reimbursement and they have been declined? They may be looking for a doctor to verify that you require methadone. Insurance companies can be so picky. T's need to be crossed and I's need to be dotted. It make little sense sometimes and often ends up costing them more money. I suggest that you make an appointment with your physician and explain the situation.
Avatar m tn IOL (like ReStor) and laser vision correction are generally not covered by insurance/Medicare, and they can be profitable for the surgeon. So if your cost is your primary concern, then get aspheric monofocal IOLs, which are fully covered by your Medicare. (Some people, including me, believe that they provide the best vision.

Avatar n tn ve been told that they can provide me with information to submit to my insurance company and (hopefully) get reimbursement following testing. Should I contact my insurance company before getting this testing done, to notify them? Or, would it be more wise to inform them after the fact? I'm afraid that they'll refuse to authorize it or try to talk me out of this evaluation that I desperately need...Any suggestions?
521840 tn?1348840771 The reasons for this include low reimbursement rates, frequency of denied payment for services, and the burden of insurance related paperwork. While the situation is problematic, there is no reason to assume that you can not get the care you need. On the bright side, if you can take the time and energy to search, you have a good chance of finding someone who can help.
Avatar f tn Do you know the reason for infertility or is it just unexplained? If it is unexplained you may try to do some more invasive tests, like a lap to figure out what's going on. Many insurance Co's will pay for these diagnostic procedures especially since there are several possible reasons to do them other than infertility. I am very sorry you have to struggle so much. Infertility and lack of infertility health insurance is so unfair!
Avatar m tn My insurance pays a big deal, buy it is still costing me $200 a month for this at walgreens, I cannot afford this through the whole cycle of ribavirin and pegasys. Is there any way to get around this cost?
10366239 tn?1409616907 Call your insurance company. Mine will cover my pump 100%!! I just have to get a prescription from my doctor and go to a medical supply place or go online to the site they gave me. Most insurances will cover them now. However, no one tells you, you have to ask!!!!
523728 tn?1264621521 I am very aware of the cutbacks Medicare has made in reimbursement for drugs resulting in pts. going to a hospital for tx because the small onco. office cannot cover the cost of drug plus the overhead of running the practice. I think the pharm. companies could take a closer look at the cost of the drugs and see if they are being a little greedy. I feel very comfortable in the tx I am receiving and the choices my MD and I have made. He is right on the money for where I am in this disease.
Avatar f tn The cost of post-transplant drugs depends on your health insurance coverage and if the meds are on their formulary. You can call your insurance company and they can give you the exact prices now. Keep in mind formularies can change usually during end of year and beginning on year. So what is covered now may not be covered next year. Also many post-transplant drugs have generic versions. Liver transplant centers usually have their own preferences for drugs and generic or not.
Avatar f tn IV) upfront and then the center gives you the appropriate diagnostic codes and information to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. My insurance company reimbursed me for some of it, but it is still rather expensive. You can buy the book "From Fatigued to Fantastic" for $10 on Amazon and the treatment is outlined in the book and much of the natural supplements recommended you can buy off Dr. Teitelbaum's website.
Avatar n tn I have the military insurance, TRICARE, which has low reimbursement rates, which makes it difficult to get an appt. B12- tested was fine...Had an EMG came out fine....I have a coldness in my legs and my feet sweat profusely (dermatology checked out fine too), that was the reason for the EMG. Any advice would be greatly appreicated.
Avatar n tn t meaningful to the patient, they are more for fitting into the patents for FDA approved drugs or getting reimbursement from insurance companies. Some are extremely meaningful, because they alter the treatment.
152660 tn?1291755571 Does anyone have pet insurance or have any experience with it? I know my kitties are old enough it wouldn't be worth it but I have a troublemaking puppy (Skeeter) who should have it- the vet actually told me to get it for her. Especially if Taz gets ahold of her. He HATES her. Oliver wasn't so bad when she was smaller than him but really doesn't care for her now- she likes to bark at him. Lucy couldn't care less- unless she lunges at her.
Avatar f tn t take insurance, only checks or cash (if you have insurance they give you a completed form to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement). I had to wait in the waiting room for 1-1/2 hours past my appt time but he spent 1-1/2 hours with me, was very thorough, explained everything (didn't want to tell him I had already learned it all on this forum LOL), took one look at my past labs and immediately said I needed an increase in my meds (Synthroid and Cytomel).
Avatar f tn I am submitting reimbursement to my insurance. Out of network. But I see what you are saying maybe its a set price.....
148588 tn?1465778809 This week he extended until April the “safe harbor” in which Medicaid providers will receive 100 percent reimbursement regardless of managed-care network. In response to my inquiry, Branstad’s office sent me to the state’s Department of Human Services, where a spokeswoman, Amy Lorentzen McCoy, said all is well. The state, which now has 12 percent of Medicaid recipients in managed care, would have gone this way anyway, she said, but the urgency increased with the recent Medicaid expansion.
Avatar f tn My friends husband has been diagnosed with lyme disease and they have no insurance...I know thru the breast cancer foundation they will set up a donation website for you...does anyone know if you can do one with Lyme Disease?
Avatar f tn Either your anesthesiologist is out of line with their expectation, or your Insurance Carrier has set some unrealistic guidelines. You need to contact your Insurance Carrier and ask them if there are any in-network anesthesiologists, in the hospital where you had your surgery & if there are, would they have done the same work for $1200. Once you have that info, we can plan the next steps.
