First PS consult done!

Well, I had my first PS consult today.  Unfortunately they do not even accept insurance as a method of payment (even if insurance will pay).  So that would mean we would have to finance it.  Not thrilled about that, but I REALLY want this done.  However, we were not even approved for the financing, so we would have to borrow the money from family or have them finance it and we make the payments.  The price was about the range I was expecting, but I don't really see how we can swing it.  They were also very pushy and wanted a deposit so we could set a date for my surgery.  Didn't like that one bit.  So I called my mom and asked her if she would be willing to help us with the cost and she said maybe, but she would need a few days to think about it.  So I called the place back and told them that I wouldn't know for a few days and I would want to wait an extra couple of weeks to have it done anyway, because my mom is in Florida right now and wants to be back in Michigan before I have the surgery.  AGAIN, she was really pushy and wanted a deposit to set a date in May.... GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

So tomorrow I have a consult with Dr. DiNick and he does participate with my insurance it is just a matter of IF we can get it covered.  I have been having a lot of back pain and have been to the doctor and even the ER for it, so we will see.  I can't wait to meet with him tomorrow and see his pricing and if insurance will cover or not.  Wish me luck.  I hope this consult goes better than the one today!!!!!

HUGS,

Oh, good luck tomorrow!!!!  I hope you have a better experience tomorrow and find out it may possibly be covered by insurance!  It sounds like they were a bit pushy today especially if that was your first consult. 

Keep us posted and good luck!!

Thanks Nan.... I even told them that I had more consults to go through and they asked for names and started talking down about them... They even said that IF they took insurance that they did a "chop" job since they weren't getting paid in cash from the patient.... I doubt that is true...  They didn't even have pictures to show me of results.... So I am hopeful that tomorrow will go better... From what I have heard about Dr. DiNick, I am sure it will....

HUGS,

Thanks Pat... I am getting excited about my consult this afternoon.... I have heard a lot of good things about Dr. DiNick, so I am hopeful that he just may be the one....  I will update this evening when I am home.... 

HUGs,
