So Frustrated



Recommended Posts

Hello,

So I am currently in my 6 month diet classes in order to get the sleeve with United Healthcare in CA. I just found out that my dads insurance, which I am covered under till im 26, expires on Jan. 31st. I called my medical group which requires all of these steps and they said that they could not help me out and that these classes i am taking only count for their medical group not anyone else. I decided to change medical groups hoping that this other one does not require as much, but i cant get it till jan. 1st. I have thought about going to Mexicali to see Dr. Aceves and just pay for the surgery but i am not sure yet. if i do get my own insurance, then i have to pay my premium, plus my yearly max, plus my co pay for the surgery which pretty much eaquals surgery in Mexicali. I also thought about medi-cal (aka medicaid ) but then i would be starting all over again with finding a dr that would refer me. I already had trouble when i saw my first pcp and then had to search for a different pcp. I feel like i am running in place with this process and i am getting very discouraged. Anyone have tips on this or what i should do?

Now I had my surgery in Tijuana and had it booked in three weeks. The absolute best thing I could have done. So, in asking me, I say, if you can afford Mexico go, you will not regret it.
