Re: facet injections and epidural injections/$$$

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bennie! I am only letting the doc do this set because my sciatica pain

is unbearable.

Since I met my out-of-pocket maximum, I am hoping to have more control over this

by the end of the year.(know I won't be cured, but have less pain than now)

Financially, I just don't know if I can come up with all this $ again next year.

It is killing me!!

I have United Healthcare and they suck!(co-insurance,copay etc)

BTW, anyone know if I still need to pay co-pays when I see my docs?(since

meeting my out of pocket max) It would be great to not have to pay that

$25.00-$35.00 every time.

Thanks for letting me vent

I have had three lower and one in the neck, and they are amazing for me!! Much

reduced pain and off three meds.

If you are in the USA you usually always continue the co-pays. I am drowning in

medical bills and credit card debt. 4 surgeries since Feb, but good results for

me!!!
