Funny, they took my $$$ in about 60 seconds, but it takes 6-8 weeks for a reimbursement?? I'm still waiting for my reimbursement 2 months later (while paying interest in on my CC). Caveat Emptor!
GOOD LUCK to all of us!

Paying ahead was not our experience!!!! I think it probably depends on the insurance (we have Medicare and a supplement) that one carries! We didn't see ONE bill from anyone from the emergency surgery. This included an ambulance ride, the ER=Twice, and 4 days in the hospital. Had home-health post-op as well. Not one bill!!
