Update:
I went down the rabbit hole: Tried calling insurance, and the concierge 3rd party servicer was helpful. (Big factor: plan is "Platinum+" plan).
After 1 hour on the phone, the concierge provided the best priced "negotiated" facility rates nearby. So now we know what is available. One price was 75% below the price quoted by the original facility after scheduling. However, now we need search the doctors with surgery privileges in the price-competitive facilities.
I can't believe I am going to say this but I think at this point I'm ready to proceed with Cashpay. Can I email you for guidance ? (i don't want to disclose procedure here).
- wswope 5y agoI don’t know the NY area well enough to offer much pointed advice for surgical stuff in particular, but you’re welcome to shoot me a message at “<hn username>@pm.me” if you so desire. The two sites I personally use aren’t showing a lot of hits for the NY area, but I stumbled on this site, which should at least give you a baseline to determine if going cashpay over insurance is worthwhile: https://www.newchoicehealth.com/ https://www.newchoicehealth.com/. Hope this helps!
