Advanced Payment Option??



Recommended Posts

"Barix Clinics offers an Advanced Payment Option"

Could anyone explain this to me? I have been looking around online and I have not found anything.

I am going to be a self-pay. I have no insurance and I am trying to look around for the best option as far as financing.

Please let me know if you have any info on this - or if you have gone to the Barix Clinics..

Thank you in advance:smile2:

Well, due to the recession hosptials are having a hard time getting people to pay when they get an invoice. However, right now my hospital offered me a %20 discount if I paid in advance and I saved over $300 on a $2,000 deductable!

I paid $5,000 in cash and financed $10,000 through Care Credit. Capital One also has surgical financing. With Care Credit, you can spread the payments over as much as 7 years (which I suggest because it is the lowest monthly payment and you can always pay more without being committed monthly to a larger payment). When I applied for Care Credit, it asked me the price of my procedure and I put the whole amount even though I planned to pay the $5,000 up front. Check with your surgeon's office and see what financing they work with. They can help you with that too!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
