Hi guys,
Is anyone having issues with your doctor/insurance? I know there's a forum out there for this kind of stuff, but I'm an August Bypasser and I'm getting nervous since it's so close!
My doctor scheduled me at an OUT OF NETWORK hospital. WHY? They gave me some story about "better pricing". If I go to an "in network" hospital, I will have more out of pocket. Why do I feel like my doctor has some kind of vested interest in the OONetwork hospital?
My doctor also is requiring that I use a new pain pump called "On Q". That is an additional $250.00! I asked if I could just use the old fashion method of pushing the button for more pain meds and they said no it's required. UGH. I already paid the entire doctor's fee and then they throw this $250 fee on me. d:(
I'm afraid to contest anything or move my surgery because I don't want to wait longer for surgery at the in network hospital. Has anyone had this type of experience?
