Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hello All, Went in for my consultation today. It didn't last as long as I thought it would. The Dr. looked at my x-rays and told me that everything was fixable. I asked questions about the things I wanted to know. Left somethings out by mistake (should have made a list). Found out I would need to wear braces for 9-12 months before surgery so getting everything over by this summer is out of the window. We spent most of the time discussing prices. Surgery an estimated $12000 and braces $4-5000. Bad thing is that I don't have any insurance, and the Dr. told me that the surgery has to be paid for upfront :-( He also told me that I'd most likely have to wait for about a year in a half before any insurance would cover the surgery. Can someone please give me advice about some type of health care? The only insurance I can think of is Blue Cross Blue Shields. Does anyone have this policy and it covered ur surgery? Can someone tell me about any policy that I can look into that may cover my surgery? Thanks!!! Sherrie;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
