So frustrated! Not covered 100%

I started this whole thing last May started my 6 months of visits and of course I didn't know how strict it was and my first one was in June then the doctor called to change it back a week which made it July 2nd so now July was my month one not June. Then about Nov my husband found out his company is changing insurance Jan 1st we panicked trying to get it all done before the year ended since we had already met my deductible but of course test results took forever so we could even apply to insurance so of course it was after jan before my advocate could submit. Now our insurance is way more expensive for worse coverage. I got approved but talked to financial last week and my part is over $2000 due the day of surgery! Once again panic mode I wish I had been told that on the front end!!! Still having the surgery March 18th but having to use our whole tax return plus clean out our savings!! So angry!

Wow, so sorry about your insurance issues but glad you found a way to make it happen!!! When they told me I had out of pocket expenses, I was convinced I would have to come up with $10,000 lol. Good luck with your journey- you are 2 days after me!!! Keep us updated !!

I never have a problem meeting my deductible early in the year being a type 1 diabetic lol !! So that's already done !! My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet, just high Protein, low carb and Clear Liquids the day before surgery. At least that's what the booklet he gave me says, I'm sure I will find out more tomorrow at the pre-op with him and the nutritionist.
