Re: Insurance Denial

Jeb, As a current federal employee, I had GEHA medical and they will not cover an implant. They will not even consider an implant unless it is a transgender case. What I did find out was BCBS does cover implant surgery for men with ED. BCBS was the only plan available to me that covered the implant....

Re: PD, ED and Insurance

Do you have a choice of insurance plans like other federal employees? Open season starts this week and would be a good time to switch to a health care policy that covers implants. I had GEHA (united healthcare) and they would not even cover an implant for any reason other than transgendering. Go fi...

Re: 3 weeks from surgery with pump question

I was instructed to tug downwards occasionally and I did. But, the pump has pretty much stayed in the same location and orientation.

My pump is located between my testicles towards the bottom with the bulb facing 3 oclock. It is easily accessible from the sitting or standing position.

Re: how does the reservoir feel?

I had the infrapubic method. I have never noticed or felt the reservoir. It was placed inside the same area as the bladder. Only one incision not counting the 2 stitches for the drain.

Re: Implanted and working through recovery

I was implanted by Dr. Christine and fellow Dr. Rachel Engelberg in April. I did not receive any paperwork from the hospital regarding implant information. I was told on my follow up with Dr. Engelberg that I had received the AMS LGX and then we began to deflate and inflate. I did receive a credit c...
