[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently going through diagnostic testing at SG and have FEPBlue. I wanted to share my costs thus far in hopes it can help you.

1. Initial visit with Dr. Doyle-Billed my insurance $230.00 for the consult.  Insurance agreement was $118.67 which they paid.  My cost was a $20.00 co-pay. 
2.  Day 3 labs and ultrasound.  SG billed BCBS $670.00 of which they paid $165.15 and I have a balance of $126.25.
3.  HSG had two separate charges.  One for $500.00 which insurance paid $378.25 per agreement with SG and my cost is $66.75.  Second charge for that day is $1,170.00 of which BCBS pays $187.42 and my cost is $33.06.  HUGE savings here for this test. 
4.  I used the pharmacy on the first floor in Rockville with the coupon given in the initial packet for prenatal vitamins.  Cost to insurance was $138.20 of which they paid $76.01.  My cost was $62.19 but after the coupon it was only $22.19.

It is CLEAR that the agreement BCBS FED has with SG is to our advantage and saves a lot of money.  The suggestions to use that plan while going through diagnostics is sound.
