Springstone Patient Financing?



Recommended Posts

Has anybody heard of this before? My provider gave me a brochure and I am very interested in using something like this to cover some of my fees, but I'm always a little nervous when it comes to stuff like this.

I used it. My first payment is due on the 5th, so I don't have a lot of experience with their servicing yet, but it was super easy to get set up.

Good luck!

Thanks! I only need it for some of my fees so I am thinking that is the best way to go.

It might be. I had to use mine as a "bridge loan". I have a Health Reimbursement Arrangement through my employer that will likely reimburse me the cost of the surgery, but they can't pay up front and my clinic requires self-pay to pay 2 weeks in advance. So for now, I will make the payments until the denial from my insurance company comes through and I put in my reimbursement submission, then I'll pay it off. It was stupid to have to do it that way, especially since I have over $20k in my reimbursement account and still had to take a loan. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Good luck, and I'm glad you don't have to use it for the whole thing. Interest rates for medical procedures aren't that good, though my clinic staff say that Springstone rates are lower than Care Credit rates.

      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.
