Self pay



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
