How much medical insurance pays for the surgical treatment ?

The following variables affect how much your insurance will pay for surgery:

The Medical Insurance Plan: There are several kinds of health insurance plans, and each has a varied amount of coverage. The amount that you must spend out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in may be higher for certain policies. After you reach the deductible, some plans may also include copayments (a fixed amount) or coinsurance (a percentage).
Type of Surgery: A significant factor is the surgery’s intricacy and expense. Clearly, open-heart surgery will be more expensive than a standard appendectomy.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network: You usually receive a better rate if you visit a physician or hospital that is part of your insurance provider’s network. Out-of-network treatment frequently has lower coverage percentages and greater expenses.
Having said that, insurance can pay for a sizable amount of surgical costs—up to 90% or even 100% in some situations. However, depending on your particular plan, you may still have to pay out-of-pocket costs.

  From the moment I walked into Dr. Bhatts Pompano office I felt a comfort. Dr. Bhatt is very accommodating. I told her that I was on a time-line as I would be gone for 1 month beginning on the 26th of July. Dr. Bhatt was able to fit me into her very tight schedule. Before I was brought into the er to have my Gallbladder removed, Dr. Bhatt came to me & assured me that everything  would be okay. I would recommend  her to anyone who needs their Gallbladder removed.

  It is a pleasure for me to write this review for Dr. Bhatt. Dr bhatt has very good accurate diagnosis and perfect treatment plan for the colon rectal area. She is well experienced, super skilled and caring colon rectal surgeon in pompano beach Florida and one the best surgeon in south Florida, she provided full details and tell me a truth that I’m doing well and follow up with me on daily basis. She answers all questions with a smile. She even was in touch with my extended family. I have been using her service for colon and rectal procedures and is excellent . I wish there were more robotic trained surgeons like dr Bhatt that for proctologist and colorectal surgery but in Broad County and Fort Lauderdale area because it is hard to find a genuinely caring, highly and super supportive surgeon. Thank you Dr Bhatt so very much . Best colorectal surgeon for colon cancer treatment

  The best treatment I've received for my hemorrhoids issue from Dr. Bhatt in Pompano Beach Florida. Her team as well as her attitude, professionalism, care, and concern are really appreciated.  She constantly asks me if I have any questions and sees me both before and after my colonoscopies and assured full care.  She called me immediately to address my follow-up inquiry, which I really appreciated. She not only spared my life, but she also showed me such kindness and supported me at every turn. Her surgical skills are great, especially with Robotic Surgery and using the Minimally Invasive Surgery and she genuinely cares about her patients. The same people work for her. Everyone is there to support, assist, and go above and beyond to ensure you get what you need.  I heartily endorse.

  Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Astha clinic was extremely disappointing. From the moment I walked into the clinic, the service was subpar. The receptionist was rude and unhelpful, showing no interest in assisting me.

Additionally, the wait time was excessive. I had to wait over an hour past my scheduled appointment time without any explanation or updates from the staff. When I was finally seen, the doctor seemed rushed and did not give adequate attention to my concerns, leaving me feeling undervalued and without clear answers.

To make matters worse, the clinic's facilities were dirty and poorly maintained, which raised serious concerns about the hygiene of the place. The lack of professionalism and care for patients was evident in every aspect of my visit.

I definitely would not recommend Dr. Astha Clinic to anyone and hope they can significantly improve their services and customer care in the future.

  I have had severe hemorrhoids for a long time and hestitant to get the surgery. Tried the banding with a different surgeon and no success. Found Dr. Bhatt. I searched for a board certified female surgeon and all i can say is Wow!
First off she and her staff have amazing bed side manner never making you feel uncomfortable about an uncomfortable situation to talk about . Scheduling was quick and easy and booked surgery within the month we had our first consultation. Yes not going to lie the first week or so i he’ll and that’s not her fault but the body’s nerves and location of the procedure.I am 8 weeks out and it has completely changed my life. I wouldn’t go out to dinner afraid of a flair up,not confident during intimate times , afraid of eating due to bathroom. my life was completely controlled due to the hemmoroids.Now i feel pain free and confident. She gave me my life back it looks amazing and painful . I truly recommend her and her staff .. Thank you🙏🙏❤️❤️

Copay: A copay is a certain amount that you must pay for a service that is covered by insurance, such as a prescription drug or medical visit. Usually, copays are required at the time of service.
Coinsurance: After you’ve paid your deductible, you may be responsible for a portion of the allowable amount, or the whole amount your insurance company will pay for a treatment, known as coinsurance. If your plan includes 80/20 coinsurance, for instance, you would pay 20% of the permitted amount once your deductible is satisfied.
