The self pay costs for me is $11990..I am financing $6800 through care credit and the remainder I am paying in cash. As you can imagine, I've put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into coming up with this much cash..so I call to make my appointment to find out that my Surgeon is charging a "fee" for financing which is almost $1,000! What?!? My "fee" should be the interest I'm paying to Care Credit. Anyone else ran into this?

Luckily I have the money and scheduled the surgery (yay!)...but nonetheless I am disappointed!

yes, my dr. charges about $800 more if you use any type of credit card, care credit, etc... anything but cash or check that must clear before surgery. I knew this and so we didn't use any credit luckily we were able to save up the total amount which is $10,975.00.

thats a lot money to have to come up with when your not expecting it. I'm glad you were able too! Good Luck
