Don’t use your insurance it will probably cost less that the deductible

Better off not having insurance and finding a health and wellness clinic who does cash pay only. They provide a service and you pay for it not bs

Yup. Insurance is just a coupon.

I was actually wondering about this just the other day. I freaking hate that you got the runaround and I fully agree - insurance is BS.

The paying up front is absolute crap. Glad you were able to get it rescheduled quick!

Ask your primary care provider for some Valium because you are nervous about the surgery. I’m sure that they’d allow that and it will help.

I just had a basal cell lesion removed last Thursday. Mine was just under my nose and ended up being the size of a quarter. It is an emotional day but the only pain comes from the shot. Mine is in a very tender area that is difficult not to use. My experience was that the swelling and redness continued to get worse until Monday. I even called and they squeezed me in for an appointment on Tuesday and I woke up noticeably better. The redness was better and an area that was swollen tight and tender was softer and less red. I tell you this to warn you that it will get worse until it gets better. My anxiety almost got the best of me. I can’t believe how much better I feel today compared to Sunday and Monday. If you have any questions, I will certainly share my experience.

Next time ask them what their cash price is. Sometimes its cheaper than using insurance- signed an RN that agrees ins is a scam

That is ridiculous! Making you put off a necessary procedure is criminal

I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and that would have been free. It seems Americans can go into a lot of debt for medical procedures.

Trust me the worse part is the numbing shot! You will feel none of the cutting and it is so fast! It is nerve racking though!

Insurance did the same for me as well for my daughter’s surgery … then they hit you with several other bills to pay out of pocket

For my experience, I'm not a doctor if you let them know that you are having anxiety, they will give you something, that will also calm your nerves or you can request it potentially.I know i've done that , and I was granted that so that I could be calm just to suggestion and good luck

Do you have FSA FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT. Account (also called a flexible spending arrangement). It is an employer-sponsored benefit account in the United States that lets you set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to pay for qualified out-of-pocket expenses. BEST THING I EVER DID. YOUR ALLOWED TO TAKE MONEY FROM YOUR PAY PRE TAX. Which lowers your taxable income. Then I use it for things like this and dental share of costs etc. check with your employer for next open enrollment. They have it for medical, childcare, and transportation if you commute. Hope this helps for the future

Don’t get me started on dental insurance! That’s even more of a scam!

What insurance do you have?? That’s ridiculous lol. My deductible is $750. Max out of pocket is 4k. I met my deductible and have surgery in 3 days and it’s gonna cost me $2400 lol. My insurance is also free monthly hahah

Silly but I close my eyes and sing the ABC’s when I get uncomfortable things done. I got a series of 6-10 shots in my back. No numbing etc either. I have horrible anxiety. My doctor says okay start singing. You don’t have to see out loud. I’d sing other songs but my anxiety doesn’t allow me to remember words. It’s really bad. It’s amazing how just focusing on something else really helps. I sometimes hit high notes with severe pain but it really works to help me relax and tune out. My doctor loves it. She told me to relax and find something else to focus on. I started singing. Try it. I sing out loud. Mines painful. You can sing under your breathe. Sing one of your babies songs anything. Some say picture being at the ocean or something but having to continue singing not miss words or letters focusing. Picturing the ocean makes me bored and my mind wanders. Anyway good luck!
