Topic: RE: Insurance won't cover so I need $25,000
Thanks for getting back with me. I just called them. The sleeve is $16,000. They allow you to pay 50% up front & then the hospital will set the other half up on 12 months. How I wish I could just finance my surgery here at home.

Very recent. I have been saving for the down payment.. Dr. Vaughan is a GREAT doctor... My best friend went to him and also a few other people I know.. Hope this helps.. You can also call them if you have any questions, their number should be on one of these sights.. Or just google Jupiter medical Center in Juiter FL..
These might help you..

Topic: IN-HOUSE FINANCING
I am wanting to have the sleeve or lapband. I have been denied through Care Credit. Does anyone know of any doctors providing in-house financing with down payment??

I was just wondering how recently you heard of the place in FL. I have been searching for someone that would do in-house financing with a down pymt. It would be soooo awesome if it worked out for me!
Topic: RE: One surgery, per lifetime HELP!
Coming from an insurance background, I hate to say that your hands are pretty much tied. Without a hard fight ahead I dont know that you can do it. Is there any hope of getting switched to someone elses policy with a different carrier? Maybe contacting the Dept of Insurance for your state.

My insurance company's website provides pricing in other cities so I could shop around. I found an accredited surgeon who's billing dept agreed to accept what my insurance will pay, so there will be no balance for me to pay except my hospital admissions. For instance my insurance said they would pay 26-29k for Dr. A in City A, and 24-27k for Dr B in City B. I called Dr. B and asked what they charge for RNY -28500.00, I explained my insurance would only cover u to 27k and would they except that amount. Yes, they said they would. And since they will accept full insurance amount, I have no co-pay. The Dr. office will bill my insurance 27 k and the amount the insurance pays is what Dr. will accept.. Alway ask your insurance company and Dr. billing department.

Topic: RE: Insurance Question*HELP
I just wanted to say something since 71 people have read your post yet left no reply of any sort. Anyways I have not had any surgeries done but when I looked into it years ago my doctors office was going to take care of everything with my surgery. Maybe you can call your insurance company or ask at your doctors office staff who does the insurance claims etc to look into it for you to make sure your getting everything you can from your insurance. Good luck I hope they cover it all! Mine would pay for it all but $5000 a few years back but now that I REALLY want to do it my insurance has changed & I'm not covered at all!
