Usually, the offset funds appear as a payment on the child support case the day CSS receives the funds. Offset tax refunds are held by CSS for at least 30* days if a single taxpayer filed the tax return. If two taxpayers filed a joint return together, the offset funds are held up to 180* days (six months).
1 For patients not covered by health insurance, cataract surgery typically costs $5,000 to $10,000 per eye, for a total of $10,000 to $20,000 for both eyes. 2  For example, at Park Nicollet, a hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., it costs about $4,365 per eye -- a total of $8,730 for both eyes. Prescription eye drops usually are required after cataract surgery. 2  Within five years after cataract surgery, one in four patients develop cloudiness on part of the lens capsule that remains in the eye after surgery; to correct this, a five-minute procedure, called YAG laser capsulotomy, is needed.
The cost of cataract surgery is covered by health insurance companies provided you satisfy your deductibles, agree to the copays, stay within your network, and accept the basic package. The basic package includes 90 days of post-operative care with no additional office visit fees related to cataract surgery.
