Guest guest Posted November 11, 2000 Report Share Posted November 11, 2000 Is there a difference in the amount of time it might take a " self pay " to be approved for the surgery, as opposed to someone who has to fight w/ insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 This has nothing to do with money!!! The doctor needs to know that you know what you are suppose to do after surgery, and if you are healthy enough to make it through the surgery. I sent in my packet and was approved in 3 days, got a date and had to cancel at last minute because of insurance. I started this journey in july. I have a new date of jan 3 and I am a happy camper. hugs marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 No. As far as I know, insurance is not a consideration in approving you for surgery. If, however, you are not willing to pay for the surgery if your insurance refuses coverage, that might cause a delay in scheduling. Dr. R., please correct me if I'm wrong!

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2000 Report Share Posted November 12, 2000 Nope just the same if you're a self-pay. I was a self-pay and I rode the train just like everyone else, til it was turn to get off and dance!!
