Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 We needed 2. They were $2700 each but insurance paid $1700 each, which left us with a total of $2000 out-of-pocket.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm just finding this out. I hate the cost and we are currently fighting with the insurance company to cover it, so this is all out of pocket expense. We justify the cost with the fact that we really like the Ortho we are working with and we like the fact that they use the scanner as opposed to the casting process. That was a huge selling point for us. Once our insurance was denied, they offered to cancel the order and refund the money if we wanted to fight the insurance first and figure payment out later. Thanks to this group, we understand the urgency as this is a time sensitive issue and are moving forward. Braden will be four months on saturday and gets his helmet on Friday. I am anxious but ready to get this started. His head has flattened out just in the two weeks we have been waiting for the helmet. We try repositioning him but he is knocking on 17lbs and it is hard. stripes6060 <taime@...> wrote: I am paying $3750Heidi,I cringe everytime I read that.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hey Krista, I am seeing one tomorrow and he is charging $125.00 for an hour and half consult.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Krista, Not sure if that would include testing, you'll have to ask. I wouldn't think they would know what kinds of test you need yet. Hugs to you!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Krista, That seems about right. I've been to some that charge $400 an hour (complete robbery!) and some that charge $65 an hour. If your insurance covers chiropractors, I've found them to be the most beneficial in that all I have to pay is a $30 copay for an adjustment, footbath, and pretty good nutritional, spiritual and detoxing advice. Tests and supplements are extra. While I'd rather have a straight naturopath, I just can't afford them. But, knowing what I know now and what I've spent, you'll save money by finding one good naturopath, regardless of what he/she charges. I saw too many different people in the beginning and wasted a lot. - PH > > > > Hi ladies- I am curious....how much does a visit to a naturopath > > usually run you? > > Thanks! > > ~Krista > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 PH- I can't believe how much money you have flushed down the toilet on trying to get better! How frustrating! That's exactly what both my husband and I are worried about, spending money on things that won't help. I sure hope Dr. Mercola is able to get you back to 100% health! Kaiser has " complimentary medicine " which includes chiropractors, acupuncture, massage, etc. But, complementary medicine isn't included in the regular package, you have to pay extra for it (not just a regular copay visit.) I'm not into chiropractic adjustments either, which is always what chiropractors want to do to me. I think my best bet would be to go see a naturopath so that I can get all the right testing, nutritional help, supplements, etc. Love, Krista > > > > > > Hi ladies- I am curious....how much does a visit to a naturopath > > > usually run you? > > > Thanks! > > > ~Krista > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Krista, I know...we've basically blown the money we had saved to move into a better school district for our kids. It makes me sad for them and mad at my PS!! Yet, I was so desperate to get better, I tried everything under the sun...and will continue until I get my life back. It sounds like Stephie has found a good naturopath who is starting her off right with the proper tests. I swear I have enough unused supplements I could open a health store!! Don't be like me. Find a good ND and stick with them. The basic supplements to start off with are an antifungal, a probiotic and a multivitamin/mineral. Milk Thistle is good too for liver support. Dr. Kolb recommends taking that for the rest of my life. If your liver is sluggish it's harder to rid yourself of these pathogens. The other supplements you can get from your ND as he/she suggests. Seriously though, I have learned more on this forum about what our bodies need than from any doc. - PH > > > > > > > > Hi ladies- I am curious....how much does a visit to a > naturopath > > > > usually run you? > > > > Thanks! > > > > ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 PH- Maybe we need to start a supplement store on this forum where we can all post our unused or barely used supplements that we aren't using anymore, that are others may need or what. We could sell them for like 50% of what we bought them for. It could be like a supplement swap/flea market! Heheheheee... I have a ton of unused supplements and vitamins too. My medicine cabinets are chalked so full that they fall on the floor when I open the cabinets! ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > Hi ladies- I am curious....how much does a visit to a > > naturopath > > > > > usually run you? > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Dede, How are ya my dear? How's your dad? I am very anxious to hear what this naturopath has to say tomorrow. Hope he's a reall good one, I'll check him out! My die off has been so bad and I can't even function half the time when try all this, I am in hopes he can balance me out. I hope he does some tests on me, I may have more than just yeast/fungal overgrowth issues. Hugs to you!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Oh my gosh Krista, That's EXACTLY like my cabinet in the my bathroom. I'm all for selling them at 50%! LOL! Good luck on chatting with your hubby about the naturopath! I see mine tomorrow and really can't afford it but I need help. I want to do this right and do the best for me. I've tried on my own and my die off is so bad I cannot function at times. I'm pretty severe with yeast. I want him to help me with balancing all this so I can detox, diet and live as normally as possible. I talked to him yesterday and is real anxious to see me so at least he's eager! Hugs to you!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 LOL Ladies,Patty and I visited an inactive member in Las Vegas a few years ago . . . She had a cabinet just like that! . . . Most likely all the products were good ones . . . But she had horrible diet habits and herxed so badly with supplements she wasn't taking any of them!Hang on to them. . . Later, as you're feeling better, you may find a use for them . . . One at a time.If you're like me, you'll give into temptation from time to time and need a little assist.Hugs,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've spent anywhere from $100 to $350. Patty > > Hi ladies- I am curious....how much does a visit to a naturopath > usually run you? > Thanks! > ~Krista > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have a lot of unused supplements that I purchased too! Before wasting any more money, I'm going to wait to see what my naturopath reccommends. Right now I'm still on the Diflucan (I think I have another week left), and I'm also taking probiotics. I also ordered a Canary test just to see where I stand with my thyroid, hormones, and adrenals. I heard that the saliva test is more efficient than a blood test.
