Rep Power: 89 | | $13k?? That does suck ass.  Steve is right--check out other insurance options. Heck--even if you have to pay $400 a month--it still beats $13k. Just cancel the insurance after you get the surgery...lol. Just be mindful of pre-existing conditions. Make sure you check that out. I don't know if a new insurance co would consider that a pre-existing condition and cover it.
Congrats on the new low!!
What about dumbells? Do you have any? You can do a lot of strength training without expensive and bulky gym equipment. I do. |

I'm hoping you found something else instead of having to foot 13k, honey. Btw, your email was too damn cute. Thanks, dollface.

Seems someone might have made a mistake. I'm waiting to hear back from the Drs office because I gave them a name a phone # of a rep at the insurance company who basically told me they had not been contacted about coverage by anyone since 2001 and that based on what I told him I should have benefits for this type of procedure but he couldn't say for sure without the proper info from the Drs office..sooooo I have to wait now for everyone to get on the same page. Keep your fingers crossed! |
