MMPC Payments!!!!

I have my group dietician appt. tomorrow. I was told (I think) that I needed cash or a DEBIT card.  No checks!! Does anyone know if that is correct information?  I want to make sure I can use my debit and I don't need to run to the bank for cash. Thanks,

I did a cashier's check. It was traceable with my bank and I didn't have to worry about my numbers. But I think you can use your debit card. Call and ask for sure!! Good luck Laura!!

I couldn't use my debit card cause I had a total of $629 to pay and the daily limit is $500!! They also take credit cards.

Hope this helps.

I've written three checks so far and they haven't blinked an eye.  One for $30, one $50 and one for $175.  I assume that is why they want the last payments up front - so checks have time to clear before surgery.

WHy do you guys have to pay money to go there??

We have to pay what isn't covered by insurance.  The money I've paid so far was: $30 for sample food (because on our 2 week pre-op and post-op diets, we have to have their food and if we don't like something, we can't return it - luckily everything I've tried has been fine), 2-$25 Co-pays, $125 Behaviorist fee, & $50 dietitian fee. I have BCBSM and it will be around $1200 out-of-pocket by the time it is all said and done because of post-op dietitian, behaviorist and exercise visits...all of which are not covered by my ins.

I went to Beaumont and didnt have t o pay a penny out of pocket....luckily my insurance covered it.  Thats a lot of money to shell out, but worth it.

I'm so glad that I didn't have to pay any upfront fees. I'm having my surgery at St. John's Medical Center in Detroit. Thank goodness everything is covered by Priority Health. I have a fully funded HMO. As a new homeowner, money is tight. I'm so grateful that I didn't have to come out of pocket. I know it is worth it, but it would have been like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip for me at this point. Best wishes to everyone. God Bless! RNY SURGERY DATE IS 4/14/08!!!!

Maybe they recently had a run of bad checks or something, I have always written a check for my co-pays and supplements and no questions asked. Probally varies on who is giving the info and who is at the desk at time of payment.

I used my charge card to pay.  Remember, you won't have to pay any co pays after this payment.  At least my husband and I haven't had to.  It was worth every penny! Jenn
