Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 ugh - I just spoke with the finance office at U of Pitts where I'm scheduled to have an -ectomy in January about setting up some kind of payment plan to cover the $2,500 deductible and 20% co-pay that I have. Anyone know what the ballpark costs are for an -ectomy? I'm guestimating that the surgery- 7 days in the hospital and all of that will be in the vicinity of $100K so I'm looking at combined co-pay and deductible of $20K - ish. They have informed me that they will carry an account for me for only 2 years and then whatever is not paid off will be send to collections!! Holy Crap! I don't have $1000/month to send to them. What am I going to do? My only other option is to take it out of my retirement but that will almost wipe it out! So, if I have a balance at a collection agency - does anyone know if I can send them $100/month kind of thing to keep them from damaging my credit report? Will they charge me interest? this is gonna suck! thanks for letting me vent. any ideas would be appreciated. Happy Swallowing! - in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
