Title: SRS surgeons with payment plans?
Post by: lilapthatsme on October 23, 2017, 01:16:46 PM
Every surgeon I have looked at so far requires either the full amount up front or at least half. I'm 19 and currently working 2 jobs 7 days a week but it still is just not feasible in the near future for me to have enough to pay that. I wanted to get a loan but my credit (decent for someone my age) is not enough to get a loan for that amount. Does anyone know of any surgeon that will let me make payments on srs? My dysphoria is bad and I just really do not want to wait 10 years to afford it. I want to enjoy my twenties and I won't be able to do that while I'm so uncomfortable with my body. Any help would be appreciated!!

The first question is have you met all the requirements for surgery such as HRT and RLE? If you haven't, you may still be a year or more off. That said, I have never heard of a surgeon offering credit terms. The reason is if you don't make the payments after surgery there is little chance of them getting their money. It's better now because when I had my surgery they wouldn't accept insurance. You had to pay cash on the barrel head and they would file the insurance after surgery. If the insurance company paid, the doctor would refund the money to you.

Dont know if it helps but PAI in Thailand are around US$10k for SRS, plus travel and hotel etc.
