I'm also in Texas and I went to AIGB. Make sure you submit anything the doc says isn't covered by insurance too. For me even though insurance denied the claim it went against my out of pocket and deductibles. I have a $3500 out of pocket and $2000 of that was taken up by the sleep study, I had to do 2. And I wasn't charged anything for them by AIGB!! As for the surgery, so far insurance has payed $25K to surgery center (they submitted $45K) and $1500 to anesthesiologist. I still haven't seen the doctor's charges yet. So once it's done I should be out of pocket about $2500 for everything.
