I can hardly believe its true .I got approved for financing today thru Medicredit for $8000 of the $12,000 I need for surgery . Which is just fine, I can come up with the other $4000. But here is my concern, Has anyone ever been financed thru someone who their doc was not a provider ?

for instance, my doc is not on medicredit's provider list. BUT They said they just had to call and ask my doc to accept their payment for my surgery .

The guy I spoke to from Medi Credit said he's only had one doc say no , because basically they are asking him to take their check.

SO my question is has anyone done this either thru Medi Credit or anyone else. and is it a problem ? PLEASE Someone tell me not to worry !!!! IM SO CLOSE .

Thanks

I've never used them, but I do know Capitol One has a medical loan, you might want to check them out too!

You will be fine I used Medicredit also DOnt worry about it.

was your doc on their "Provider list" ? Im So TICKED at my husband . I was waiting for my doc to call me back and I asked DH to go to the store for me and he said he was "Busy" the MINTUE i left the house MY DOC CALLS.

Im waiting for him to call me back. I just want to know i can still use my doc.

UGHH I hate THIS .

If you used medicredit and your doc wasnt on their list i'll feel better LOL

I tried Capital one they denied me due to a bankcruptcy 2 yrs ago .

Medicredit is more BK friendly .

Thanks

It will probably just depend on the administration fee that Medicredit charges the doctor. I believe Capital One charges $600. So, if you got a loan for $15,000, CO would send your doc a check for $14,400. I would imagine that they all have a pretty standard fee.

My loan is only for $8000, They surgery is $12000 . Im going to pay the remaining $4000 out of pocket and I will suggest to my doc that I will be happy to pay any costs he has to pay up to $1000. Im already getting off cheap because his surgery only costs $12,000. So its worth it if i have to pay his fee's to accept my financing.

So maybe that will help make his decision .

GOSH Im so anxious and nervous i feel like throwing up .

I SO DO not want to find another surgeon I LOVE my surgeon .

Wish my luck.

Thanks for your help

This is tottally off-topic

But, what does "dh" stand for...I see it every where here!!

ps. Good Luck!

Best of luck to you Mindy...I'm sure it's going to work out just fine! I just got banded last Friday, so I know how excited you are.

Consafo, DH means "darling", "dear" or sometimes "d@mn" husband. ;-p

Wheewww , I totally feel better now LOL

I just spoke to my Surgeon . things are looking good . He said to have medicredit call him asap . That if it is just a matter of fee's its not a problem .

SO I feel better. He said if its more of an issue than fee's we'll talk after that and see what can be worked out , but in most cases its fee's and that's not an issue at all. I told him i was willing to pick up any fee's he might have for the financing and he said we could talk about that. He's a new private practice . If it costs me an extra few hundred bucks I dont mind.

So I'll let ya'll know when i know for sure. But its looking like in less than 60 days !!!

Thanks
