I have a surgery coming up, and I just got my estimate from the hospital. This surgery under ACA is considered routine and preventative. I don’t fully understand the medical billing system so I’m hoping someone can explain this.
I called my insurance yesterday and they told me yep, everything that got sent is in the correct codes stating routine/preventative, you should have everything 100% covered for this.
So then why am I getting an estimate from the hospital that isn’t $0? Is that because they run it more in like a worst case scenario thing as like a just in case? Will this all get resolved once the final bill is all set at the end?
