OMG I have Financing . BUT anyone seen docs NOT providers w/ Loan Co ?



Recommended Posts

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

Mindy

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

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

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
