What plan? Are you not on Medicare?

Sleazeballs trying to skip the warranty paperwork. It costs them $10,000. Is your doctor agreeing to that? Is your insurance covering this?

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield through my wife’s company now. I had BCBS with my previous company when I had it done originally and they paid for everything but the deductible. It doesn’t matter the insurance company it’s the plan the company has settled on. Many large companies self insure anyhow and BCBS is just a service provider.

When we were discussing self pay I asked Clavell about whether they would try to weasel out of the warranty and he said there will not be a problem with that. As one of their top volume docs they want to keep him happy.
Implanted 2/14/24 at age 50 w/ a 22cm Titan, no RTE's, classic pump by Dr. Clavell after 9+ years of worsening ED. I tried everything from pills to injections. Venous leak confirmed 2/2/24. Healthy, fit and active.
