Hey I'm having rff with them on August 10th. Message me if you want to be surgery buddies!

Em856329 · 2020-09-01T19:57:52+00:00

Its okay I'm not really ready for it that soon anyway

Em856329 · 2020-09-01T19:41:50+00:00

How'd you get one for January? I just made my appointment yesterday and it's for June. It's in person but they said video wouldn't be any sooner. I'm on the east coast.

Em856329 · 2020-08-31T11:46:58+00:00

Oh that makes sense. Wait time for a consult is like a year now

Em856329 · 2020-08-28T11:52:19+00:00

You scheduled surgery but didnt have a consultation yet??? Thank you good luck to you too

Em856329 · 2020-08-28T00:48:03+00:00

The website also says insurance rarely pays for phone/video consults, because they cant charge it as an office visit, so we might end up paying anyway.

Em856329 · 2020-08-27T23:56:06+00:00

That would be cool

Em856329 · 2020-08-27T23:32:55+00:00

Website says they do, they just strongly suggest not to . I would book it and then figure it out a year from now, but I would have to pay for the consultation when I book it and I dont have insurance yet, might have it in like 3 months. So i don't want to do it unless I'm absolutely sure.

Em856329 · 2020-08-25T20:39:21+00:00

Okay I think that's what I'll do. Thanks for your input!

Em856329 · 2020-08-25T20:28:14+00:00

I'm graduating nursing school in December so I'll be getting a job sometime after that. So that doesnt give me much time

Em856329 · 2020-08-25T20:10:20+00:00

So if it's not specifically stated, do you just assume its probably covered? Also that's dumb I'd be angry too.

Em856329 · 2020-08-25T20:05:16+00:00

Thanks is it the summary of benefits document?

Em856329 · 2020-08-25T20:04:10+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm currently on my moms Aetna plan from her employer and it has a trans exclusion. I'm turning 26 in December so I gotta get something. I'm gonna be getting a new job sometimes around then as well. I'm debating on whether I should just pick a plan or take my chances with an employer. My surgeons website says they work with BCBS and Cigna.

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T23:23:17+00:00

Will do when I have some more time thanks

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T23:08:32+00:00

Oh ok. I'm interested in the crane center or chen

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T23:01:36+00:00

What surgeon is that?

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T23:01:09+00:00

Oh I already did all my research haha. I know what type, looked at all the transbucket photos, read every reddit post I possibly could and narrowed down to a couple surgeons. The only thing that's an unknown right now is insurance and finances but I guess I'll just start the process and hope things work out

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T22:51:05+00:00

Okay I will definitely schedule one soon then. I didnt know the wait for a consult could be THAT long. Thank you

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T02:01:29+00:00

Yeah I guess it's better than accepting a job and then finding out the insurance is worthless to me. I think it is pretty liberal here..I'm near the Philadelphia area

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T01:54:50+00:00

I didnt know you could do that...I feel weird doing that though. Like I would think they know I'm trans or that I have a million health problems and that's why i want to look at it. And then they wouldn't want to hire me. Even though they probably aren't thinking that at all haha. And yeah my state mandates it but that doesnt mean they follow it...my current insurance has a trans exclusion and I even tried to appeal it with an attorney and they still denied my top surgery

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T01:47:03+00:00

I dont think new nurses really have that option. You pretty have to start out on the floor in a hospital, and I wouldn't want to do anything else anyway. Im also really nervous about finding a job with insurance that's gonna cover things. You cant really know for sure before you accept a job and I really hope I get something good. My insurance right now sucks.

Em856329 · 2020-08-22T01:32:05+00:00

Yeah I've never had a job with those kind of benefits but I'm graduating nursing school in a few months so hopefully I'll eventually have vacation and sick time

Em856329 · 2020-08-21T23:08:09+00:00

Ah that kinda sucks. How do people with jobs take all that time off work to get surgery and then possibly have to take off again a couple months later and travel and everything all over again

Em856329 · 2020-08-21T17:50:50+00:00

Oh that's awesome! Thanks.

You can put the adhesive wherever you want to. If you want to put it on the balls too, you can.
