HELP!! Not covered by ins. self pay



Recommended Posts

It was awesome. My insurance paid for a hernia repair and I paid for the Lapland (5500) my payments are 190 a month for 3 years. That includes 12 months of fills and aftercare also. Like I said no credit check at all. They have you apply for care credit but if you are denied. They. Finance you no questions asked

Did you have to pay any money upfront?

Just my insurance deductible at the surgery center. It was easy and I had surgery 1 month after I decided to do it. Could have been sooner but I couldn't get the time off work

I'm scheduled for Thursday to have surgery. The lady isn't answering my questions quickly enough... All I've paid so far is $25. I just don't want any financial surprises come Thursday.

I

My insurance paid for the ECG and my understanding is that it will also pay for the hernia repair. My out of pocket is $5500.

Do you have a preop approach at truresults next week? they should finalize it then. If you are insurance pay I would assume they will collect your deductible whatever it is at the surgery center. Mine was 200 you Can find out your deductible on your insurance card.

What is a preop approach? I'm supposed to have surgery to get the band in.

That is weird. I had to go to a pre operative appointment before surgery.

They scheduled both of my appointments during my first consult.

I understand. Well if your insurance paid for your ecg you shouldn't have to pay anything. They collected my deductible at the surgery center the day I had my ecg. I think you'll be good. Good luck to you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
