s office without general anesthesia. Local anesthetic may be used. For those who have had one of these done, what is the average cost? My insurance does cover it, but I have a fairly high deductible, so for all practical purposes whatever it costs is what I'm paying and I'd like to know about what I'm in for.
Dr Zenn at Duke told me the first step of Diep will cost sixty thousand.. with tmy insurance paying eighty percent of what they think he should have charged. I have Mega Life and they do not pay well. They only pay a maximum of two thousand for ambulatory procedures. Would breast reductioin and lift by ambulatory? Would tissue expander placement be ambulatory. How much would that cost... a range? How much for the implant placement. Is it ambulatory as well?
m doing so if anyone could give me an estimate our breakdown of the cost of having a baby (like all the doctor visits, bloodwork, whatever else) and what insurance covers... i guess like how much it costs with and without insurance. any help from moms who have already given birth would be extremely appreciated.
Wow, what a range of cost. As for insurance most (all?) have a deductible, I think mine is something like $1K with a maximum out-of-pocket of something like $5K if all is done "in-network".
The $149K sounds like more than my open heart surgery (MVR) with 5 days in the ICU cost. I have seen only small bills from many specialists and labs tests. Nothing I'd complain about, my coverage medicare plus a UHC did their duty.
s HIV infection. The average chance of transmission by fellatio, for the oral partner if the penile partner has HIV, has been calculated at 1 chance in 10,000. That's equivalent to giving oral to infected men once daily for 27 years before infection might be likely.
Therefore, I would not have recommended PEP. But that's a judgment call; I'm not faulting the doc who prescribed it, especially if you presented with great anxiety.
As for the specific PEP drugs, I have no advice.
I have eight implants four on top and four on the bottom. My pair of dentures made for these implants do not fit properly and I would like to try another dentist at this point. I would like to know what the "average" cost of a denture to go over these implants will be - with and without a milled bar. I live in Central VA. I realize that it is impossible to have an exact figure, but I would like to know around what they will cost so I can compare the differences. Thank you.
FYI, it would seem you are confusing CD4 count with viral load. VL can become undectable with Atripla (and would be very good news!). But CD4 would not change or would rise. I would advise that you learn these detals. Over the years, survival with HIV is best in patients who understand their test results and can converse knowledgably with their doctors about it. Your doctor or case manager will be happy to help educate you.
If the insurance companies were not in the loop, then the cost would probably be cheaper. A few years ago I had to have an h.pylori test. I had it done through my mother's doctor, who goes by "insurance" cost instead of "real" cost. The test cost over $300, even though I was paying with cash and not actually going through an insurance company.
Late at night on 6/11, I had brief unprotected insertive vaginal intercourse with a 22 year old CSW (stripper in Vegas) of unknown risk. I've read on this site that very few CSWs in North America are HIV positive, but she was Asian (she said Japanese, but I don't really know) with a pretty thick accent, so I don't know how long she has been in this country.
The potential exposure lasted no longer than 30 seconds and there was no ejaculation.
The total out-of-pocket wihout insurance would be $2400 a year. With insurance it would be $1900 a year. So now the total cost of medical care with United catastrophic insurance is $6300 and uninsured out-of-pocket cost is $3600.
The costs of outpatient procedures and other things are generally comparable to that and I'm not going to bother doing the math on them as I'm not familiar with the costs there.
can anyone give me an idea of what interferon costs im just looking for a round about figure so i can start planning to try and afford it i know what my insurance will cover im looking for either the cost beofre or without insurance as well as with insurance or just what you paid for it and if you live in georgia and have coventry as your insurance provider i would really like to chat with you about the costs
So here they go, another year without health insurance because they can’t come up with the monthly premiums for coverage, and on top of that, now they will get penalized for not having health coverage. I am watching my kids get sicker and sicker and I fear for her safety as she still cannot get her screening for her cancer.
I need some answers. I can’t sit back and continue to watch my son and daughter in law get sicker by the day because they cannot get their thyroid medications.
result of ARN PCR test was indectable and doctor ask me to stop Atripla that i used during 11 days
3)DAY OF ACCIDENT+28 HIV COMBO Ag/Ac Négatifs (<0.05) with technique chimiluminescence sur ADVIA CENTAUR CP
4) DAY OF ACCIDENT+35 HIV COMBO Ag/Ac Négatifs (<0.05) avec technique chimiluminescence sur ADVIA CENTAUR CP
5) DAY OF ACCIDENT+40: test HIV negative
My question is it enough tests or should i check again?
did Atripla can delay the seroconversion since i took it during 11 days.
Your doctor was giving the cost of the meds if you were paying out of pocket (with no insurance or assistance). Depending on which meds you are one, his figure is low.
However, if the pharmacy said your insurance company approved the medications and that your payment will be $29 a month (your co-pay), then that is what you should be paying. There should be no surprises. Most pharmacies will not send out Hep C medications until they know they will get paid.
