Scuptra fees

[Guest guest]

I would like to ask if what others are paying for scultra

injections.

I qualified under the patient assist program, but had trouble finding

a physician willing to work with me on the program although it

involved very little effort on their part. I had all the forms and

paperwork filled out, they just needed to sign and check a few boxes

and send in the paperwork. I found the doctors listed on the scultra

website seened to only want to use it for cosmetic purposes, off use,

and not to treat patients for its intended use.

I finally found a doctor and really liked her, however it is her

Physician Assistant who actually does the injections. She does a

igreat job and everyone if the office is great, no lumps or bumps

either, but charges $500.00 a session for the injection. When I

first went to her she said she would do two viles for the the same

fee, but changed after the first visit and will only do one vile a

visit. She said there was little shown increased effect with two

viles? I was lucky that the actual doctor used me for a training

session at no cost for either product or procedure for my first

time. I do use money from my medical Flexible Spending Account at

work to save some tax money, which helps.

My question is seems a little high to me since the PA and not the

doctor does the procedure and will only use one vile. I was

wondering what others pay and if anyone knows of a doctor in the

Denver area that is willing to work with the patient assist program

or should I count my blessings that I someone I like who does a great

job?
