Cost of flushing port
Hi HER-2ers,
I got a surprise bill in the mail this weekend charging over $730 for a 10-min visit to the cancer center to flush my port. The insurance covered only $300 and now I'm left with a huge bill. This seems to be a mistake to me as I don't remember being charged for a port flush like this before. Do you know how much you get charged to flush your port? I've had mine since diagnosis and I've kept it so far. Thanks, Bejuce |

Wow, that has to be a mistake and I'd query it if I were you Bejuce!

My port flush was about $150.00. Once they charged me for a blood draw/test which they did not do when they flushed my port, so I had to straighten that out with insurance. Sounds like a mistake to me.

Re: Cost of flushing port
I had my port removed earlier this year, but for the 3+ years it was in place the clinic billed approximately $100 for each flushing. Insurance paid about $40 on the claims for port flushing servies. Everyone seemed to be happy with those figures so I think a $730 for a port flushing must be a mistake. Perhaps it was coded incorrectly when the claim was submitted. Good luck on getting this straightened out.---bird
