3 weeks ago I had my tubes tied and was supposed to have a Nova Sure (endometrial ablation) for horribly painful chunky periods, but doc discovered fibroids so just did a D&C instead. I went back and forth between the dr and insurance trying to plot out all the costs ahead of time to make sure I knew what I was getting into. Apparently, departments don't EVER communicate.
Got billed $1300 for his services and $9000 for FOUR HOURS in outpatient care.
My insurance (single coverage) has a $3000/yr deductible, plus I pay 20% for everything over that.
So this little 4 hour event is going to cost me $4460 out of pocket.
Oh, and I had my normal crampy chunky period last week - so the D&C did nothing.
