Self Pay with August 17th Surgery date

July 10th

 

 

After being turned down by our insurance company and no where left to

 

 

 

go, I will have to pay out of pocket for the surgery. I know it will be worth it for me physically as well as for my feelings about myself. I have scheduled it for August 17th with Dr. Avilla at the hospital in Blackfoot.

 

Now I at least know that I have explored all options prior to going the self pay route. It would be nice to get it done in July, but with the Japanese youth delegation being here and my being responsible for their 2 weeks of activities I don't want to risk not feeling well during that time.
