Just curious or stupid but I chose a larger font. Is it really to small or to big? Barb
Somebody else recently chose that same font and color thinking it was larger, but it comes across as really small for a great many of us.  Some wierd OH thing.

Great!  Much easier to read.

If you select the font size called "larger" that should work out well. Funky colors are also hard to read. Plain old black is really the easiest to read.

Rabkin does NOT charge a program fee.  However, he does not participate in any insurance plans, so he gets his full fee (although he operates at hospitals that participate) no matter what.  To ensure that, he requires 2/3 of his surgeon's fees upfront before surgery.  If the insurance company pays more than the other 1/3, you get the amount they pay over 1/3 refunded.  If the insurance pays all of his fee (unlikely), you get it all back.  I believe the 2/3 is about $9K now.

As an example, my insurance (Aetna) paid $7500 of Rabkin's at-that-time $12K fee.  I had paid $8K upfront, and I got $3500 back from Rabkin.  So I was out-of-pocket $4500 for my surgery -- well worth it.  The hospital charge was $700 -- $100 copay, plus $200/night for a private room (so my husband could stay with me).

Oh well thanks for info! I will probably have to wait or try Anthone again. I just don't have that kinda up front money and everyone we know is pretty much in the same boat or someone I would never ask for that type of favor. I'm 59 and shouldn't have to ask for help at my age. Such is life. Some people are more financially smarter than me and chose better investments.

Oh, and I forgot.  I would NOT include Husted on your list.  He's been having issues that I would not be comfortable with.

There are a LOT of concerns about Husted right now. They certainly involve moving around a lot, but do not end there. In particular there is concern about revisions and just exactly what he is doing with them, because it does NOT appear that he is doing a DS.
