Follow up appt

[Joei 9]

My surgery is planned for the end of November. I am paying $554.68 a month for Cobra. I do not want to pay for December. I want to wait for my Medicare to start in January. Does anyone know if the first follow up appt, after surgery is free? My husband had a hip replaced at a different hospital and the follow up was no charge. Thanks for any advice or experience.

I work in a surgical office, usually post operative visits are covered for 90 days after surgery.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this info definitely helps. Thanks for the info. Now I'm just praying nothing prohibits the surgery.

Good Luck to you,

I work in the surgical practice where the Dr is that did my Gastric Bypass almost 13 years ago.

I will be forever grateful to him I have a quality of life I thought I would never have.
