SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL 42 Posted October 17, 2012 5'2, 234lbs, I havent set a date cant afford the hospital fees at River Oaks, they dont offer a payment plan at all. I was trying to have it done right before Thanksgiving, so I can take the rest of the year to recover. My insurance required me to pay the hospital stay. It was $150. per nights and I stayed 2 nights. What is your insurance requiring?i had to pay it the day of surgery but I pad mine when I went to pre register.

SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL 42 Posted October 17, 2012 That's good info. Why do they have me doing everything at CMmc I love baptist I had to do my EGD at CMMC only because at that time I chose it. I knew Dr. Cummins was leaving River Oaks so I didn't mind. I did some prep blood at river oaks. I did my ABG and PFT at work, my PCP did my EKG and Chest X-ray in his office. Yes I was the 1st one at Baptist and they did so well. You have that option to go there. When is your surgery date? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLEEVEDNBEAUTIFUL 42 Posted October 17, 2012 Im calling Dr. Cummins office in the morning, I have completed all.requirements from the insurance company. I've had lab work and all. Wow my insurance paid all but about $500.00. Yes call and ask to speak with DeeDee. She is the surgery coordinator and is awesome with everything. If she is busy say asked to be transferred to her vmail. She will be able to answer all your questions. That way you can see if Baptist is less expensive.
