thank you all for your responses! i dont believe i am at risk, just a worry i have. but not enough to keep me from doing this!

I am scheduled for surgery on July 18th. Today I got a letter from the hospital that said they confirmed my benefits and expect I will have approximately $500 owed out of pocket. They want me to pay this now or at the time of registration. I have had many surgeries and have never had a hospital ask for money up front. Has anyone else been required to pay?

i had to pay $3500 before they would schedule the date, but i am self pay. my surgery is on the 19th good luck!

Hello my name is Mindy, I am 26 and starting nursing school in the fall. I am a self pay patient so my process is going rather quickley. and its kinda scarey lol. I went to my first seminar June 6th then wen to my first consult June 22nd. I left with my surgery date July 19th. I am excited!! the only thing I am a little worried about is blood clots. Anyone out there have blood clots after surgery? I am so worried about this because he has only had 2 peole die and they were both from blood clots. I dont want to be the 3rd! lol I love reading everyones stories on here and I cant wait to start sharing mine
