Self-Pay Financing



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find out if there is anyone that finances the surgery 100%. My mom is willing to pay for the surgery for me. She has been approved, by Care Credit, for her cosmetic surgery & they only allowed her a certain amount. If they will only allow that amount, then, we will have to come up with about $7,000 & neither one of us have the money. But, if I can find a company that will finance it 100% for me, then, surgery will be a go. If anyone may know that Care Credit will finance it 100%, please let me know. Thanks.

Surgeryloans.com or MedicalFinancing.com; I used medical financing for my loan 2 weeks ago. The whole process went smooth and very helpful. The Nurse practitioner at my surgeons office recommended either one of these.

Have you tried a personal loan from your bank? That's what we did. The bank knows your finances better than anyone else. They were able to quickly approve us for the whole amount and with better interest rate than any other options we entertained.

I used MedicalFinancing.com; and they approved me for the total amount of the surgery. It was a easy process.

That's exactly what I would have recommended. In addition to a more personable experience, you can secure some pretty good interest rates. Good luck with everything!

Ok so I have a question...how does united medical credit work? Do they send you a card like care credit or is it more like a loan? I'm trying to find out if it has the visa/mastercard logo on it. Care credit does not have that and my hospital is not sure if they take it until they try...and I'm not willing to have a card that i cant use with money on it, that I can't get to.

If you call care credit and tell them you're getting the procedure they'll usually up the limit.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
