Self-Pay Financing



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find out if there is anyone that finances the surgery 100%. My mom is willing to pay for the surgery for me. She has been approved, by Care Credit, for her cosmetic surgery & they only allowed her a certain amount. If they will only allow that amount, then, we will have to come up with about $7,000 & neither one of us have the money. But, if I can find a company that will finance it 100% for me, then, surgery will be a go. If anyone may know that Care Credit will finance it 100%, please let me know. Thanks.

Surgeryloans.com or MedicalFinancing.com; I used medical financing for my loan 2 weeks ago. The whole process went smooth and very helpful. The Nurse practitioner at my surgeons office recommended either one of these.

Have you tried a personal loan from your bank? That's what we did. The bank knows your finances better than anyone else. They were able to quickly approve us for the whole amount and with better interest rate than any other options we entertained.

I used MedicalFinancing.com; and they approved me for the total amount of the surgery. It was a easy process.

That's exactly what I would have recommended. In addition to a more personable experience, you can secure some pretty good interest rates. Good luck with everything!

Ok so I have a question...how does united medical credit work? Do they send you a card like care credit or is it more like a loan? I'm trying to find out if it has the visa/mastercard logo on it. Care credit does not have that and my hospital is not sure if they take it until they try...and I'm not willing to have a card that i cant use with money on it, that I can't get to.

If you call care credit and tell them you're getting the procedure they'll usually up the limit.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
