When I got my date, the call was from the surgeon's office. They gave the date, and the time I had to be at the hospital. The hospital called and I had to call them to talk to billing to see if there were any outstanding charges that my Blue Choice did not cover, as I had to pay them up front before surgery. Fortunately there were none. The surgeon's office changed my time, then I caught a cold and they postponed me a week giving me a new date and time. All this info came from the surgeon's office. I would call them and see if they can tell you.

Call you Dr's office and find out!

You may need to call them and ask. My doctor's office is terrible at keeping me up to date and telling me things. So if I need something or have a question, I call them. I swear I call every other day/week. They know my voice now and as soon as I start to talk they are like, "Hi, Ty. Hold on." I might be a nag, but if I wasn't nothing would get done. Call and ask. It can't hurt.

Also, I have a question, does everyone have to pay up thier outstanding bills with the hospital before surgery? I owe them some money from my pre-op appointments, but was planning on paying it back little by little. Must I pay them up front or they won't do the surgery?

you know honey I would call your insurance company and ask they are all different. I know I have somethings that are yet to be paid and like you i plan on paying little by little.

also post this as a thread in the insurance portion people here are so knowledgeable
