Default Confused

Please help me understand the 20% I have to pay for the insurance. Do I only pay 20% of what the insurance covers with the doctor. I understand insurance companys have contracts w/ doctors and they only pay them so much for certain things. Do I pay 20% of the contract cost or 20% of the complete cost? I am confused on this I THINK.........

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

If your surgeon and hospital is contracted, then you will pay the contracted amount and the rest will be written off by them.
