It will be interesting to see what your actual allowed amount is. The Blue Shield of California compatible HSA plan would allow $286 for these three CPT code services, whether billed as $900 or some other number. Office visit comprehensive, surgical destruction or removal of one skin lesion, destruction of second skin lesion during same visit. If the insured has exceeded their annual $2,400 deductible, the Blue Shield patient pays 30% of the $286 allowed amount, or zero if they have exceeded their $4,000 annual maximum out-of-pocket. Example: Last week I saw my dermatologist's PA. She wrote a scrip for a rash and froze two little bumps on my skin. She spent about 6 minutes with me but this has been billed as 3 separate services at $300 each. Golden Rule will knock off about 50% on the bill so the 7 minute visit will be $450 from my HSA. Perfect example of the fee per service. Crazy. MP
