Schechter turned me down for Medicare only. In their words people and facilities have to be paid and Medicare does not do it well enough. You will have to have a supplement, cash or make personal arrangements to make up the difference. They will however let you private pay the whole surgery and give you a rebate for what Medicare does cover.

the problem is if I would of thought of this 3 years ago I would of had the money. Now I at the poverty level and it just can't happen without the government. Oh well it was nice to have a little hope anyway.

I wish I hadn't lost my job and had to spend that money and lose the insurance, life's little road bumps.

now I'm depressed , my damn therapist suggested I find out about this and I had a glimmer of hope , but if that's the case It's done. I was all right thinking I couldn't get it because of financial concerns then that sliver of hope that's now been dashed. wow talk about a bumpy ride.

well , I just emailed the doctor so I'll find out shortly whether they're except Medicare or not. If not I'll just put my brain in hibernation.
