Question:
Self Pay??? texas or louisiana

Can anyone give me any advise on self pay in Texas or Louisiana? Or does anyone know of a surgeon and hospital that both accept Care Entree? Care Entree is a discount savings program, it is not insurance. My insurance company will not pay for surgery. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please email me at [email protected]    — Gina A.

I live in Texas. My insurance wouldn't pay for the surgery either. I did a tremendous amount of research about self-pay. I found that the common amount was approximately $25,000 - $30,000. I chose a surgeon in Mexico because of his outstanding reputation and after speaking to a couple of his patients. I'm 19 months post-op, no complications, past goal, very, very happy. I will include his patient forum on this board if you are interested in researching him or talking to some of his other patients. Please feel free to email if you would like more info. Good luck in your search! You'll find the surgeon that's right for you. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/forums/?ID=A-1045621205
