Just wondering if you had to pay your deductable up front before your surgery or if your surgeon accepts payments over time for that. I could have sworn when I called initially to ask questions I asked and my doc's office said I could do payments but now I am not so sure. I am worried because I am 5 days away from surgery and do not have my $3500 deductable.

I urge you to contact your surgeon immediately to discuss this situation.

BTW have you not hhad other expenses already this year?  Psych eval, office visits etc.  all of these charges would go towards the deductable.

Hope this helps

Once I finally got through to my doc's office I found out I had already met my deductable and everything was fine. Big relief!
