Starting to feel like its never going to happen now...

So Ive been through a lot to get approval from my insurance company to get surgery....I was only told about a week ago that I needed to be able to pay 3300.00 for my deductible before surgery...this was news to me. SO I called my doctors office and they told me to apply for carecredit...which I did and got what I needed. So I went monday paid out $500 out og my pocket for the pre-op diet and Vitamins after surgery. No one said a thing to me, then I call the facility where Im having surgery at that I needed to know what they needed as far as the carecredit information only to find out that they dont take it. Thus I can not have my surgery there.....I call the dr.s office and was told that they didnt know this and were trying to find another facility that will take it. I am so fearful that they will not be able to and that Ive spent thousands already out of pocket for a surgery Im not going to be able to have......just wish I could catch a break with this.

Oh,no! Thats how all last year was for me! Nothing went right. So sorry for you. Im sure your doc can find someone who takes carecredit. You might have a further drive but it will be worth it!! Best of luck to you! Keep us informed!
