Self-Pay Care Credit
I am currently in the pre-op stage of getting the RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery. In fact, I am done with all of my pre-op and currently awaiting a surgery date. However, I am self-pay and have currently hit a snag when it comes to the cost of financing this surgery (They hit me with all of these different charges). I have been approved through care credit which is going to be one of my primary sources for funding the surgery. The other portion I think I will at least be able to obtain through credit cards. However, I am not sure if the surgeon I am working with even accepts care credit. Is there any one in the Houston area who knows if their doctor/surgeon takes care credit? Please help! If not, I may have to consider getting the sleeve surgery and going to Dallas. I am hoping to get this surgery done in July.

Why not just call your surgeon's office Monday and ask if they take Care Credit?

Oh. I was confused since in your post you said "I'm not sure if the surgeon accepts Care Credit." But it sounds like you are sure that he doesn't.

Check out their website. Care Credit has a great, easy to use "Find a Provider" section. I was even able to find a vet who takes it when things were kind of tight financially and we needed to get my dog checked out for something.
