Has anyone given up on the insurance, self-paid, and then tried to get reimbursed after the fact?

I have UHC HealthSelect and they want a year of nutrition. I don't have a year, my liver enzymes are going up all the time due to fatty liver. We are trying to appeal, but I am willing to self-pay to have the surgery done in December when I am off work for two weeks for the holidays and, also, that will be 6 months sooner for my liver. If I self-pay, I was wondering if I could send in a claim and see if they would pay me that way.

Thanks in advance for all the help. There are a lot of smart people around here.

Peace,

Laura

You would have to call your insurance company to determine that if they will pay if you file a claim.

I was told if u jump the border and self pay they will drop u from insurance
