Self pay

Anyone out there self paid? I have been fighting with Cigna for a year to get approval but still nothing. My health is getting worse and I am just ready to get on the track of a healthier me and better life. Are there anyway of getting a payment plan to self pay? I'd love to hear from people who have self paid.

The office that I had mine done through offered payment plans. So there are some out there.

I grew really frustrated with my insurance company.

I am generally an easy going and polite sort of person.

I was 3 months into the deal and getting bounced around by UHC and lost my patience with them. I felt as if I was being manipulated and delayed on purpose. I wound up cussing out every level of supervisor I kept getting escalated to. It didn't do a thing to help my situation.....but I certainly felt better after letting it ride on every one of them that I could.

I opted to self fund and had my surgery a moth later. I would still be waiting for surgery right now had I not done so.

One of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.......EVER.

UHC can form a single file line........and pucker up and kiss my big shrinking arse.

I've got something they can manipulate.

YES! Knowing what I know now, I would pay for it myself if I didn't have good insurance.

File an on-line complaint with your State Dept of Insurance. Every state has an on-line form. It can work wonders!
