Medical Bills for Complicstions



Recommended Posts

I was a self pay sleever on 12/21 and developed complications several weeks later. Will my insurance pick up the complications? Will my dr write some off? Am I going to end up filing medical bankruptcy?

Starting to freak out!! Was in hospital 12+ days and had multiple extra surgeries. At home with a nurse coming 1x a week.

Any advice is appreciated!!!!

So sorry you've had to go through this. Does your insurance cover WLS? If so it may cover complications. If not you may be SOL. My policy specifically states it will not cover WLS or any complications from WLS unless it is a an immediate life saving procedure. I went into it knowing any complications would bankrupt me for sure.

No one but your insurance company will be able to answer your question because policies are so individual.

BTW, what were your complications? What kind of prognosis are they giving you?
