Bye for today...

DH and I are meeting at SIRM for the big "financial" talk...Chat Icon I know Batzofin takes my insurance but we will see today what will have to be out of pocket. I am hoping we get lucky.

Then we will go to Asia de Cuba for a few mojitos and dinner, and BD tonight...Chat Icon

I always keep the faith, and the mojitos should help!

See y'all manana!

Re: Bye for today...

OK first -- DH says to me at Asia de Cuba -- is it me or is everyone here super-tall?? LMAO....I told him it was the same person walking by over and over --LOL.

My meeting with SIRM went GREAT. They called my insruance and asked about every single test, procedure, bllod work, everything and confirmed that I am COVERED and only have to pay $2,000 out of pocket - except perhaps anasthesia and ICSI. Can you believe?? After dropping 13K at East Coast? I had her confirm this to me like 10 times and she showed me the confirmation sheet where the insurane co. was asked one by one if it covered each item. DH and I were and still are in shock, we are not sure if we should believe it. We will keep the $$ aside anyway but it felt nice to blow a few $$$ on dinner since we felt like we just "saved" about 10K.

Anyway, the woman who handles the finances used to work for Cornell (she's also Irish and lives in Long Beach so extra points - lol). I asked her honest opinion and she said some interesting things...foremost being the individualized care and attention at SIRM which I have experienced, as well as the avant-garde and aggressive approach. She says Davis is marvelous and THE top Dr... and that Dr. Spandofer is good too -- but that the finances can drive you insane trying to get $$ back from insurance, and the clinic can get pretty hectic. So since this is my very first IVF I will go with SIRM and cross my fingers.

When I got there, Rosa who makes the appts. came out to see me and gave me a huge hug - it made me feel like a PERSON with FEELINGS and that people there actually care. It was so nice....

I have to give a 1K deposit (refundable) next week after my blood is taken for all the immunological tests, and I have another appt. w/Dr. Batzofin to discuss my protocol more in depth. Then if I want to go ahead I pay just 1K...imagine... I am in shock still.

Mojitos were amazing.. at $12 a pop they better be, and I had a few! Dinner was good, although I have definitely had better. But it was nice to go somewhere so "trendy" - I haven't been there since July 2000, the day before I found out my ex was having an affair with my Best friend!! So now the place has GOOD connotations for me, now that I went with DH and had a lovely dinner AND dessert...

Thanks for the good wishes ladies, I am psyched to start this!

ETA - please excuse typos, it's the mojitos in me!

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I knew that whole insurance thing sounded fishy at East Coast. It is amazing how far 3K of coverage will go. I am so happy for you. That in and of itself must be a huge relief. Now get your azz off the computer and into bed (or onto the kitchen counterChat Icon ) .

WOW! Thats such great news all around Kara.

Seems so many of us have learned we may need to shop around to find the most suitable Dr for our own personal situation and Im happy to hear it seems you have found yours.

The money news alone is AMAZING!

Congrats on the GREAT visit and the fun dinner Chat Icon

Congratulations on such great news...you are in the $$$$$$ now!!!!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed your dinner and hopefully you were able to get DH away from his work for a little whileChat Icon

BTW, If I had had a few mojito's I actually would have typo's, it's a tad scary that you had NONE!
