Juvederm billing

$550 is about average for a single syringe of Juvederm, not two syringes, so it appears you paid about what is normal for a single syringe of Juvederm.

Juvederm does come in packets of 2 but of course these can legitimately be used for two different patients.

It is best to air the problem directly with the doctor rather than have it bother you, even if he is Division Chief.  However  it appears as if the billing was about normal for a single syringe.

If you did get two syringes for $550, you got an incredible bargain, with a price so low it is probably a mistake... in your favor!

Juvederm Ultra is a hyaluronic acid filler that is commercially available in units of 0.8 cc.  Your experience may not have reflected the surgeon's motives or policy, but rather the policy of the administrative office. Since Juvederm is bought in units of two syringes, it is understandable that a mistake could have occured. Just ask the surgeon and it should be remedied. You should only pay for what you need.

Hi GG,

You should have a credit for another syringe of Juvederm.  The product comes packaged in a box with two individually packaged and sterile syringes.  No need to charge patients for two syringes when the "box" is opened unless two syringes are used.  Best to go over your chart with your physician at the next visit.  Good luck and be well.
