Re: Is Insurance Covering Anyone?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I have Blue Cross of CA, and originally I was told (or I understood)

that I was sh*t out of luck, and that BC wouldn't cover any portion

of the surgery. I later learned that JRI was going to submit the

procedure as a THA, disclosing " the device. " Apparently this has

been done before and ins has covered all with the exception of the

device ($12K of the $18K - the device, C+, is $6K). SOoooooo, I am

waiting myself on insurance. Though after reading post a few

back, I am going to email JRI and inquire about scheduling and

gettin' on the schedule (if not having surgery done) prior to

insurance accepting. I can pay some $ upfront if that's all it's a

matter of. I want to get a HIP already and MOVE on (literally), ya

know? Good luck to ya - that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Alan on here is also waitin' on insurance...I think we'll be hearin

La Cucaracha at the same time!!! (inside JRI joke)....

...is that what you did? Paid upfront and then insurance paid

ya back? Please advise!!! Also, LOVED your post about the game,

and I'm with ... it IS the lil' stuff...the stuff most folks

take for granted. Personally I'm looking forward to sitting indian

style (been a dream for as long as I remember)...riding a

bike, ...etc etc...

Can anyone give me any info on insurance paying for resurfacing?

ahead with the operation.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
