?Arkansas Rehab services? also advice for after surgery needed
Hi, I am new here. My husband is wanting to have the surgery. We cant afford it,, no insurance. I was looking at the insurance page and alot of people talked about Arkansas Rehab services. How their insurance denied them but Ark. Rehab Services helped them. I was wondering if anyone here knew of them or could give me any info. Also we are just learning about the surgery in detail...he has wanted it for years. I was wanting some personal opinions on what to expect after. Also since he is the only one working,,I am a stay at home mom, we will need to make financial plans for while he's off work. He works construction and sometimes gets winter layoff. I thought if it could be done that would be the best time.
still searching for answers,

I believe I remember a girl named Jerri Arnold who was successful in getting AR Rehab to pay for her surgery several years ago. The requirements are stricter now than they used to be. I believe they raised the BMI requirements to 50 or 55. Look up Jerri's profile and there should be a link on there to e-mail her. She was always lots of help when I was researching. Much luck!
i thought I had replied already! Sorry I didnt seem to answer. I tried emailing her but got no response. I am going to try again. I am not sure if Jason is going to be healthy enough for surgery or not. He started to have chest pains last week. He has an appointment with a cardiologist next week at St. Bernards hospital. I am going to see if I can find out any information while we are there. I thought about asking at Human Service/ the health department.
thanks for your help
