See a naturopath or functional medicine doctor. It takes more work from you but sometimes they can get you healthier than regular doctors can.

My deductible is 6k. Unfortunately, I’m a recent college graduate with no money saved and am starting school back up in the fall. If I was not required to pay the money upfront, it would most likely make a huge difference for me. The doctors office requires upfront payment and I just can’t make it work.

I requested to join the nacys nook FB group.

Thanks for your help!!

Ok so its covered just not at 100% until after you pay 3k. Have you been on Nancy's nook Facebook page and done all the education? There you will also find your answers to the bc questions. Next maybe the 3k is an issue. Think about how much time you may miss or have missed from work? What can you cut out (Starbucks eating out) can you ask others in your life to help? Seriously life is now. Don't settle you deserve the best life possible. 3k is nothing in the grand scheme. If I wouldn't have had insurance I would have had to pay 26K I still would have done it but luckily I was able to get on cobra and had already met my 3,500 deductible and was almost to max out of pocket. Also I would go with one of the nook surgeons to save $, time and recovery

I haven’t had a previous laparoscopy. I was clinically diagnosed a few months ago. I didn’t not speak directly with the insurance company; however, the procedure is performed in office. The office spoke with the insurance company and they said it would be around $3,000 because it is subject to my deductible..(I have a very high deductible).

First did you speak to your insurance directly or did you speak with the physicians office? Have you had. Previous laparoscopy and have been diagnosed?
