  7. HI anyone who is living in my state NJ and who has UHC of NJ. Please give me some info on how it works. First off, I was searching and searching for a drs. office that would help me out. No one went the exta mile.In this case it was different, and i picked at random, a place in New Jersey, i don't know if they work with the insurance company but... the place i picked was called Bariaactric Ecxcellence something to that effect. And well, i got an email i do have this in my insurance . It is a matter of a deductible i ahve to maintain of $750.00 and at admission $500. The procedure would be, 80% paid and the copay would be like i stated 500 bucks! What i would like to know is: Are there any perequistes i need to do what to expect. If anyone out there.. knows please tell me. Do i need to get my PCP involved ectra. She told me to call her for an appt with Dr.. I am scared of what to expect, i feel lightheaded..lol wow! Any feedback..please Thanks!
  8. Hi Everyone! I wanted to find out if, being self-pay here in the US, does it include EVERYTHING - hospital or? There are extra fees included? Or is it different elsewhere? I am trying to get some financing and at first i called the doc, the lady said 300 up front and it will be divy up with the cost of the surgery when financed/ Another questions will the office help one out with financing?I was pressed for time and i didn't have a chance to find out. any feedback greatly appreciated.
  9. Congrats!!! Your on to your new journey enjoy!
