Hey everyone!
The surgery facility asked me to pay my $1,500 deductible up front the day of my surgery (March 16). A month or two later, I got 3 separate claims that I “owe.”
$669 from the surgery facility
$135 from the surgeon
$1,128 from the anesthesiologist.
I called the facility, and explained that I already paid the $1,500 deductible. They confirmed this and I was told that I “overpaid,” and that they will be send the difference back to my card. Great!
Now here’s where I’m confused … I called the provider who sent me the anesthesiologist’s bill. The person on the phone told me that the $1,128 is my “deductible.” I already paid my deductible, so surely you could see my confusion! I thought the $1,128 was for anesthesiology — what grounds do they have to charge me a deductible … again?!
By the way, the full bill was $1,300, but it was knocked down to $1,128 after the Cigna discount.
The anesthesiology provider asked me to resolve this bill by either calling the surgery facility or Cigna. Cigna was no help here, unfortunately. What should I do? I’m new to health insurance, so perhaps I could get some clarity on how to resolve this $1,128 bill.
