We got married three months after my BIL and his then wife, nobody raised a peep and nobody’s feelings were hurt at all. We did make sure it was financially doable for the family members that would attend both, that’s probably the best and only concession you need to make. I think this is an excellent opportunity to flex your steely spine and set how his family is going to treat you. Start working on that united front nice and early.
That’s it, I am getting drunk. Scheduled surgery today, the whole time they have said “at surgery center”, and by whole time I mean us speaking to them over a dozen times setting this up, scheduling, talking costs, etc. and as soon as the nurse calls me says hospital. So the 2k surgery center fee is now a 15k hospital fee. Don’t even get me started on why the hospital could barely even manage to get me this info, as though asking how I am supposed to pay them and how much is foreign.
Maybe you don’t want to have surgery there? It sounds like they are incompetent at best…I would be worried about the rest of the services.
I am not really worried about billing sucking having any impact on the doctor. He is one of the best in his field and we have waited a year as it is. Basically the surgery center used to have a scope, now they don’t, hospital does, so now it has to be there. I am so frustrated.
Is this the fertility procedure that you have mentioned previously or something else? I only ask because a friend on govt insurance had to go through several iterations before the hospital agreed that her insurance covered her hospital fees. Her insurance did not cover the actual procedure but covered everything around it but the hospital kept insisting that nothing was covered.
Yes part of the fertility thing. Tricare said no way no how bite me as it is 100% elective and in no way medically necessary per say. They would cover some portion if we were having difficulty getting pregnant but not this. I guess I will just say it, husband is getting a vasectomy reversal. I did finally speak to someone who actually knows what they are doing at the hospital so for sure on the costs, but waiting on the nurse to call me. Husband is pretty pissed at the Dr or their staff, as I am, for saying all along it was surgery center and now it is hospital. I still feel the Dr is good at what he does but now debating if we find a new doctor all together. It took almost 9 months just to get in with the urologist to begin with. Getting in with any Dr around here always takes ridiculously long for some reason I will never understand.
Got it. I was thinking that this might be something with your goods rather than his.
I am sorry that you are finding this out at the last-minute. That sucks.
In doing my research I told him how it doesn’t hurt too bad from what I read just hurts in your stomach, not like being kicked in the balls. He says “ya that’s what being kicked in the halls feels like”. Well. Sorry dear. Apparently he will feel like he was kicked in the balls for about a month.
@Ver I’m big on getting engaged when it’s right for the couple, not everyone else. But ensure the wedding date is compatible with the most important family members. I’m sad that others have pushed their wedding, but am thankful for their family to not have to be forced to “pick a side” in a sense. His grandparents would have had 2 of their own kids and their first grand-kid getting married within 55 days.
@JD FMH had a vasectomy like 19 years ago. I knew going in that wasn’t going to be reversed, he said it was expensive (plus I didn’t want kids). It’s interesting to see the cost from your end. Yikes!! I hope it all gets sorted.
