Diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer. Scheduling Lumpectomy..what to expect as far as bill?

I am sorry you have to be here but
you have found the right place to get answers. You do not need to go to a chat there is lots of information available right here. I was really scared when I was told I had breast cancer. I found this site and have gotten lots of info and support here. I don't think there is a way anyone here can tell you what to expect as far as a bill is concerned. That all depends on your surgeon, what needs to be done and where it will be done. I would suggest that you talk to you doctor and he should be able to give you some idea. It will also depend on what your insurance will pay, if you have insurance.
Ask us lots of questions as someone here will probably have an answer for you.

Hugs
Georgia

Marcia told you how to go to chat on here. Never been there, as, I always had trouble getting in, but, I hope they fixed it by now.

Good luck, Jan

Like the others, I have
Like the others, I have never been in the chat room but have posted questions on this site. Everyone is extremely helpful with their experiences. I was dx on 5/24/10 and had a lumpectomy., stage 1, ER+/PR+/HER- as there are others with the same type of dx.

As for the costs involved, it would depend on what type of insurance coverage, doctors, treatment plans, etc... You may be able to talk to your insurance company on what your plan covers. I'm still dealing with all of the different bills with the hospitals, doctors, labs, etc.... One thing I started doing was asking how much was their fees, treatment, talking with their financial group and then calling my insurance to figure out how much I may have to pay.

Good luck
