even without insurance my fills are covered for a year and then the fill and florascope runs 120 I believe. I think they are mostly between 80 and 150 depending on where you live and the competition.

I just looked at fill centers usa site and there is a 349 initial consultation charge and then 169 per fill. I think they were started to do fills on people who went out of country for surgery.

It really depends on the doctor or fill center. The above LBT subscriber mentioned the prices for FillCenterUSA (www.fillcenterusa.com). Some doctors also include a year of free fills after surgery. Blind fills and fills under fluroscopy is are different prices - because of the use of the fluroscopy, they tend charge more.

Think positive thoughts,

You guys should check with your insurance company. They pay for mine, so they just might pay for yours. Good Luck and keep up the good work.

I go for 2nd fill today.. My insurance company pays for them but not at the location I go.. They called me yesterday and said that it would be $150 which is fine with me as Id have to drive to their other location and its too inconvenient..
