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
