Mexico and financing?!?



Recommended Posts

Long story short, my insurance approved my surgery..then 7 days before my surgery they denied it. :( This happened 2 weeks ago…trying to get over it but still determined to have this surgery. Does anyone who went to Mexico know if it is possible to use any type of financing or anything like that, I say mexico because I know it is about less than half of what it costs here in the US.

If anyone has information on financing for here in the United States that would be great as well…about how much would you think someone would need to finance in the US?

I am actually going to Mexico for $5500 that is including removing my lapband with Dr. Garcia. They have several financing companies you can use. Depending on which doctor you choose they will send you the information on the finance companies. I am choosing Mexico because it was going to cost me $17,000 here in the states which you can use care credit here.

Are you financing the $5500?

No. I'm paying cash. Pinching pennies to have it all in time.

Why did they deny you after you were approved? Isn't that illegal?

They said I should have never been eligible to begin with and it was a mistake of their part.
