I know each insurance is different, but I wondered if a few people that had MVD could give me a rough estimate on how much it cost after insurance paid. I had to quit my job and paying all these medical bills is killing us. I want to get MVD but I don’t want to blindly just put us more and more in dept… you can send me a private message if you don’t want to post it here. I do realize it is a rude question and I’m sorry. I just need to be prepared…
I have Blue Cross insurance and I can tell you so far I've only had to pay about $1,000. I had my surgery in July but I did just receive another statement from Blue Cross saying I owed $2400 on some other expense that had recently been submitted. I'm not sure why it took them so long to submit it and I also haven't received a bill from the medical facility yet so I don't know if I actually owe that or if they will resubmit it to my insurance again. Like you said though, insurances differ so be sure to consider your deductible, your percent they pay for hospital stays, etc.
I hope you are able to go forward with it - it gave me my life back!!
Good luck and best wishes.
I had mine for $50,000… Worth double!
We only had to pay blue cross $500
Not a cure…but no pain…low pain starting year two.
Thank you both for replying. I had nightmares of paying $10k
My health insurance is through Aetna. Plans vary widely but mine covered a huge portion of the MVD and subsequent hospital stay after I developed complications. In all, the total billed was close to 60K and my portion was about $2,500. Hope this helps!
