Dora,
 
The only ones that can answer you questions is the insurance company.  Someone may have the same insurance company, but each employers policies are different, with different co-pays, maximum out of pocket expenses and deductables.  I think you should call you insurance directly, since they are the ones who are going to pay for your surgery.  I just went through my surgery and I took it upon myself to find out directly from the insurance company what my expenses would be.  Dr. Pilcher's office can only tell you what they need up front, before surgery.  Usually, the hospital will also require a deposit unless they have a different arrangement with your insurance company. You should have already received information from New Dimensions outlining what you owe them.  I believe the person to contact there is Erica Liendo, 558-2923, unless that has changed since February.
 
Good luck!
