JC pre-cert and $

[Guest guest]

Hi JC,

Best wishes for Monday's journey. I was pre-cert through Aetna and

I

did not have to contact the hospital prior to the morning of surgery

when I checked in. I believe that Barb calls them with your info. I

just checked in and showed my insurance card and in our case my

husband's id and full work address and number since its his policy. I

was glad he was there because I wouldn't have known is full work

address. That was it. No money. The $11,000 is standard upfront

for self-pay. You will have Dr. R's $1000. upfront until insurance

reimburses him and the clinic cost upfront (unless that has changed).

I hope you have a quick and smooth surgery and recovery. Hope to see

you post as a post-op:)
