Excess Charge

I've got the final bit of surgery sorted for 1st Aug. It's an early start I've got to be there at 7am this time with a morning operation. But at least this time I won't have to fast as long as I will have been asleep.


The official name(s) of the operation are


W7420 Autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction


W8230 Arthroscopic meniscal repair


W9012 Therapeutic local anaesthetic/aspiration - large joint - single


the insurance company is happy to pay for the hospital, the anaesthetist and the physio but the because the consultant is capped by they will only pay the first £1136 of his bill. Fortunately the estimate is £1200 so I will only have to pay £64. I was thinking it was going to be a lot more so this is very good.
