Does anyone have a written guarantee of the afterservices offered by their surgeon?

Hi all,

I am struggling with the fact that I have twice contacted my clinic to ask about what guarantee I will have - in writing - as to what is covered by the 16K I am spending. I was told it would be faxed to me. Instead, I recieved a one page consent that didn't specify anything that was included. I know the website states that lifetime fills are covered, and the nurse told me that removal would be covered, but shouldn't I expect to have this in writing BEFORE I send in my final payment? The nurse told me what was covered, but 4 years from now I don't want to be arguing with someone on the phone about something a nurse told me years before. I am not a stupid woman, so I am surprised that they would think that I would just send $16,000 in the mail with nothing in writing that would stand up in court as to what I was paying for. What have other people gotten???????? Am I the only one concerned about this?

I am a self pay and I did not get a guarantee as to what services would be covered after the fact. However, I know that in Canada, the surgeon is obligated to treat you after the operate on you. My surgeon requires payment 2 weeks in advance, because if I don't pay and he operates anyway... he has to care for me despite the fact I did not pay. (Meaning after care and fills.) He gets payment to protect himself...or I'd be alittle richer...naw...I'd pay...damn...I am too ethical!
