Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 That may be...but if I want this surgery, it's looking like I'm going to have to pay for it all...I hope to find out in the next couple of weeks. I have appealed to my DH's employer, because we have different insurance. The insurance company has ok'd the surgery (pre-certification) but because of an exclusion, they won't pay unless the company my hubby works for makes an exception. I would very much like to hear our options. Tricia in IL Joanne Young wrote: > > I think Dr. R is referring to only his charge for surgery being self > pay - not > the hospital charges.
