Re: How to pay for surgery?

[Guest guest]

the surgery entails orthodontics (braces) and surgery...

i suspect that most orthodontists will allow you to make payment,

but i doubt that's the case for a surgeon , but you can always ask..

depending on where you live , you may have to pay for the surgery

room and other hospital expenses...

where do you live?

My insurance is covering about half of my surgical expenses, but

because my surgeon is out of network, I have to pay the total to him

up front. I don't have any collateral, so the best rate I could get

was on a credit card, 3.99% APR for the life of the loan. I'm going

to pay with the credit card and the money I have in savings. I will

pay off most of the credit card once my insurance reimbursement

check comes through. I've heard of others doing this, too, some

using 2-3 credit cards if you can't qualify for a high enough limit.
