QUESTIONS:
38:59: Is there something we can do as patients to have influence on treatments and testing or monitoring so that it is covered by insurance?
43:51: Typically, are there any healthcare costs that don't apply to the out of pocket maximum?
45:50: I have Colorado Medicaid for my 18 year old son. We are having problems getting him approved for a surgery with a specialist in Texas for his rare heart paraganglioma. Tips?
48:33: When making decisions about what scans and treatments to get is there a way to know how much they will cost with insurance? Getting separate bills from doctors, imaging etc. is really hard to figure out.
50:02: I have very bad insurance. My doctor said that I shouldn't even bill insurance and pay out of pocket until my out of pocket maximum is reached. Is this allowed? How do I know if this is a good option for me?
51:20: I have been denied for a scan I was recommended to have. Should I appeal through my insurance or ERISA?
52:55: In general, will insurance cover costs received outside of the US for treatment that I can't receive in the country?
53:35: We just went through an entire year of crazy medical bills with surgeries and treatment and scans. I didn't really look at all the bills and I'm pretty sure I paid on things that I shouldn't have. Is there a way to go back and look at this?
57:24: I want to have a telehealth appointment with an out-of-state doctor. Does it depend on where the doctor is located or where I am?
58:15: Would you comment on straight Medicare and plan F? Should patients on this plan stay on it since it is grandfathered? Prices are rising.
