The expenses have been submitted to the insurance and I have a pretty good idea of what I will owe. Including the co-pays for visits before the surgery, my total oop is 1543.08. Not too bad for a full hysterectomy and repair of several small hernias.
I have a credit at one doctor that is sending me a check. When I receive that I will send it to the other doctor. Then when I receive the bill from the hospital I will set them up on payments. They are about $1000 of the total oop.

When my wife had her last surgery (gallbladder), I found a $1,000 error on the bill (she was charged twice for a piece of equipment). By the time I brought it to their attention, the insurance company had already paid their share so the $1,000 came directly off our OOP cost.
