Question for a friend (Thanks)

I was wondering if anyone needs to pay a non- refundable fee of $300 or more before the surgery that initially covers the The program fee pays for things such as web site maintenance, educational materials, nutrition classes and seminars, the expertise of our insurance/accounts personnel, and other members of the team excluding physician's fees.) And if the insurance denies me that is $300 down the drain? (which I absolutely hate) But I'm willing to do it.

All places I checked out had A non- refundable program fee and it ranged from 300 to 1800 good luck Michael

Thanks Mike.

Mine was $250, it was some of the best money I spent. My insurance has covered many, many of my bills with minor co-pays so I didn't mind as much. Melissa

Miss Mona, My only out of pocket fees were for the psych evaluation and the med gem test. I had Ohio Medicaid and struggled with them for 2 and a half years before finally gaining my approval. Its amazing they fought me all those times and each year I had over 18 hospitalizations with Congestive heart failure etc, and on 18 daily meds and oxygen and a Cpap machine. All of which they gladly covered.. But wouldnt go for the surgery because of the cost. But now I am down to 6 daily meds, only 2 trips to the hospital and no o2 or cpap.. Go Figure.. The best of luck to you sweetie.. Dont EVER give up the fight it is so worth it.. Hugs Miss Laura
