As most of you probably know I had a TIA back in July. After many tests they found out I had some blockages in my heart also. September the 3rd I had a Quadruple by pass surgery. I am recovering great according to all my Doctors and will probably have a second surgery the first week in October. For 24 hours the Dr. ordered blood draws every 3 hours. My insurance company has ther own lab for this. The problem is it is not in the hospital and it is not open 24 hours a day. I was in CCU and there was no way I could go to there lab. The insurance company will only pay like $8 per draw. I can't tell you how many chest x-rays I had but the insurance company is only wanting to pay $10 on each one, they run about $70 a piece. The surgeons bill was $9400 the insurance company paid him $478. This is just a tip of the iceberg. All of these expences they are saying do not apply to my out of pocket expence and do not apply to my $1500 deductable. My total bill so far is around $130,000. It looks as if right now I may be stuck with $40 to $50 thousand of my total bill. Is there anything I can do to get more out of them. Is there an agency that would help me with this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
