My Medical Loan or CC? "No Patient Left Behind"



Recommended Posts

I have the option of splitting my surgery over two Credit Cards or using My Medical Loan's "No Patient Left Behind" program - although while filling out my paperwork I decided to google some info and found some bad reviews about them being bankrupt and people losing their money, etc. Anyone have any advice?? Or dealt w this company?? Thanks.. :lol:

I almost used this company for my surgery but in the end had a family member come through for me. I understand your concern and was not comfortable with "the no patient left behind" program. 1. they could not tell me if I had to put in 50% or 75% of the total cost before the would fund the rest. 2. I would rather my money sit somewhere I know that it is safe. I am not comfortable with giving them that much money before "they fund my surgery" 3. They wanted an automatic transfer from my checking every month in a set amount. again not comfortable giving them that info either.

In the end I was not comfortable with the company so chose to use care credit. I felt better that my surgeons office recommended them and have experience working with them. They wouldn't say anything negative about " the no patient left behind" but their lack of words made we realize that they weren't right for me.

hope that helps

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
