coast of fills

Hi, just found out that after my first fill the cost of all other fills will be $500. each time. Thought that was extremely high. That are others paying for fills.
Insurance won't pay for my fills.
Thanks

My fills, in Wyoming, run $339.00 but my insurance covers 100%. So, per the other replies, my doc is high also.

I am cash pay for fills. It has been $36 for the past 17most, but just increased to $65 because of the Medicare law. This is of course done in the doctors office w/ out US guidance, and no GI swallow following the fill.

You can also look for a Fill Center USA and see if one is nearby. They are cheaper than $500 per fill. Bummer, though, because it's usually good to stick with your own doc for aftercare. I'd be switching too if I had to pay $500 for a fill! Yikes.

Oh my this all sounds sooo crazy. My fill are included in the cost of the surgery and all my after care. Guess I must have it good after reading all of your posts.
