Topic: RE: A kick in the gut.....
Already did all of that.....The surgeon wants X amount to do the surgery and Y amount paid each month.....not something I can do at the moment. But mind you they took payments for me to get to this point. And they will take payments until the X is reached....

unfortunately that is one that you can not get around....if it makes you feel any better I was scheduled to have mine in Jan 09 but I broke my leg and you can not have major surgery after another for 6 months (so they say) so that would put me into july I was scheduled in July....I got real sick, they cancelled me...I had it finally on Sept 1st. Now I know right now your feeling all kinds of feelings, but know that you were not told NO you are just being told not now....3 months will go by quicker than you realize and its so so worth the wait....trust me.....

If it is a matter of the deductible you will owe the clinic or doctor try to work out a payment plan with them now. They don't like to cancel a scheduled surgery because they like to stay billable. I'd give them a call and if the billing coordinator says she can't help then ask for the office manager or program coordinator and as a last resort go directly to the surgeon. You have nothing to lose at this point than your time. Good luck.

Its about how much my "deductable" was and whether or not I met it and how much I would need "upfront". So its a money thing which I don't have atm and won't get for about another 3 months.
Topic: RE: last mintue advice
Its so normal to be nervous, I had mine on the 1st and it was not as big a deal as I made it in my own head. The only advise I have is to sip sip sip on your drinks. Dont go to fast and let your body tell you what feels good, we are all different. Good luck and God Bless You

Oh no, Im so sorry....what kind of miscommunication? Can you fix it? Can you call the insurance company or something and request a second review? Where was the mistake made???
