I currently have Aetna insurance (on cobra). I am eligible for Medicare on June 1st. Aetna has told me I will have an 20% copay for the surgery. If I have both Medicare and Aetna at the time of surgery, will both be billed? Will Medicare pay the difference (the 20% copay?) Or should they submit to Medicare first? Does Medicare typically pay 100%? Since I have started the process with Aetna insurance. Will I have to start over in June for the Medicare insurance? Help me! I have so many questions and it's all overwhelming and confusing. But I know I need this done for my health.

I like Schroder too!!! Did you have to pay a portion of your surgery co pay before surgery? I want to be prepared. I am starting my 2nd month of the 6 month diet. Lost 8 pounds so far! :w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::crying: -

I am so glad to hear such good things about Brengman! I have my first visit next week. How much do they ask for upfront if you have insurance? Just your deductible? All of your coinsurance? So anxious and nervous. Thanks! -
Good morning! I had a question as to what the difference is between the three and six month diets that you must complete for approval using Aetna insurance. Thank you very much :confused3:

I read the online info that the insurance company told me to read and it confused me even more. Hopefully someone will answer who has experience It's all so confusing!!!
