Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 You are so well informed. You don't know how upset I have been the last few days about all of this. I Knew it was not Dr.R's fault but had know idea of what was going on except for what I got from Barbara the other day, she told me it was to expensive that the staples used in one surgery cost twohundred dollars per cartridge and twenty are used per surgery.I was also told that they hope to be able to start back in Nov. that seems so far away.She also said I could still send my packet in,but I'm going to make copies just in case it get lost between now and then. I wonder if they will start a list for us caughtup in this mess. Kinda a first come first serve thing or those who are most in need of the surgery, I don't know just something to keep our spirits up. I gotta go Storm here. thanks again, Tonie ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 I think that is illegal for them to take more than the " assignment " ie money that Medicaid agress to pay. I might not have this worded right.......maybe that has changed but I dont think they allow you to contribute to make up the difference. Same goes for the doctor bill too.
