My date is July 8th. I'm just hoping I am Ed Yates enought!!

Hello! I am 24 yrs old weight is 226 I was approved for surgery May 19. Yey. However my surgeons office submitted the request to a hospital out of town which is wanting me to pay half my out of pocket which is $500 plus $200 deductible. Plus traveling & hotel I am looking at $900 before surgery. There is a credited hospital about 15 min away from that by doctors come I would have to only pay the $200 before surgery. If I tell my surgeons office to change hospitals they would have to cancel my current approval & resubmit & I could be denied!! I am stuck bc I do not want to get denied but $900 is alot for me to come up with at this time. What would u do if u were me??? Please help. I need to tell them by tomorrow

I never thought about asking the hospital. When I spoke to there billing department they were so rude. I asked if I could come with $250 which is half of the $500 they said no, I even asked for hardship and they done offer til after surgery when I already paid them. Ill look into the financing see what they say. Thank u.

I don't know? I was told this by my doctors office & the insurance. The insurance company said bc a different person would be reviewing my case & the dr office said bc my BMI was barley 40. That's a $500 difference.

I added on 10 pounds weights when I seen the surgeon & my physical under my breast. U have to loose weight before surgery anyways. I wa approved Mat 18th
