Re: question about ins/payment for surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi,

From what I know, some doctors do not accept insurance, and require

that their patients pay first, and deal with insurance later. Have

your sister check if the insurance will pay for the surgery for sure -

having a good insurance is no guarantee that they will actually pay

for this type of surgery - and if they will, then your sister might

want to consider whether she wants to find another doctor who will

accept her insurance, or stay with the one she's got.
