wish center

just wondering if anyone out there had the surgery done there i have my first appt on the 16th. Should i send in my paperwork before i go or just bring it with me? Please help!

I checked on the wish center and found out that the first visit is $1,500. and they are not in any network so my insurance would not cover them. I have a policy that does not cover any out of network claims. Also they have a manditory 2 yr after support that costs $1,800. so just make sure that you check these things out before you go so that you do not have any surprise costs. Shelia

Kelly I am presently going throught the wish center. I have my preop scheduled for Sept. 14. and surgery the following week or so. I just brought the paper work with me . Try to have as much information as you can when you go for your visit. i.e. progress notes, test, from your familty doctor and possibly a letter from your family doc incase needed for medical necessity. Hope this helps email me if you have any questions I will try to help. Mary

Kelly, I also have a consult on the 20th and have had concerns about them being covered by my insurance Aetna PPO. I called my insurance and they informed me that the surgeons and hospital are in the network. I also called the wish center and questioned them about the amount of out of pocket expense that I was looking at. They told me that they were in network with my insurance but that there were expenses that were above the network amounts that would have to be paid, they quoted me the cost would be approximately $500.00 to 1000.00 out of pocket. They also have financing which could help with this cost. I would suggest that you contact your insurance company and question them and also call the wish center and ask them your questions. They seemed to be very helpful and set my mind at ease as far as the cost concerns. I am so glad you posted I've been trying to research the wish center experiences but haven't had much luck. Maybe the replies to your post will give me more information. Good Luck, Ren
