Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi and Happy New Year to all- I've decided that this is the year I have the revision surgery. I am so much pain and I don't want to increase my meds anymore. I've narrowed it down to Dr. Boachie and Dr. Hey. I live in VA so they are equi-distant, pretty much. I have seen both and like them both and feel either would do a very good job. I am a former New Yorker and have a lot of friends and family there. But then again, I highly respect the reputation of Duke U. I don't want to let the cost of this whole thing be a deciding factor but DR. Hey does take our insurance. The financial rep. at Dr. Boachie's office said, " We will work with you as far as insurance goes. " She also said that the insurance we have- BC/BS-(Federal employee) is one of the best as far as paying goes. Is there any way to know ahead of time a ball park of what Dr. Boachie's office will be charging after all is said and done? I just feel so uncomfortable not having any idea. If any one of Dr. Boachie's patients can help me out here, I would be very grateful. Oh, by the way, I ruptured my bicep tendon/muscle on Dec.10th so now I am having surgery on Jan 11th to re-attach that and then will be rehabbing my arm/shoulder before I can set a date for the revision surgery. That was rotten luck. Thanks and God bless, Jeanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
