Just do the surgery in the dr's office and save!!!

I am currently working on the insurance certification for my surgery. I spoke to a very nice young man earlier this week and explained that I was having obesity surgery, etc., etc. He told me what my insurance would cover, but then said, "But you know, ma'am...if you have the procedure done in the doctor's office, it will only cost you the $15.00 co-pay." I said "What do you mean, in the doctor's office?" He said "Well, if you don't go to the hospital, you'll save money." I said "So....next appointment, I'll just climb up on the exam table and let the doctor do the surgery there?" He said "Well, it will save you lots and lots of money!" I thanked him for his time and hung up. When I told my dr about it, he died laughing, but said exam-table surgery just wasn't something he was trained in. We both got a good chuckle out of this.

it makes you wonder???

This just proves that the people on the other end of the phone that are there to give you approval for procedures etc. don't have any idea what they are doing. There are probably some good ones, but they don't stay there long. What a good laugh...Thanks...debbie
