My insurance deductible is $5000. How does this work?
Thank you for your question. Each office works differently in regards to performing surgery through insurance. At my office, we bill the insurance and once the insurance sends us the EOB, we bill the patient "their portion". Check with your surgeon's office to find out their procedure. Best wishes.
What this simply means is that the first 5000 for medical expenses simply coems out of your pocket so you would have to pay for this first.
