Cost of revision?
Cost of revision?
What was your cost of revision compared to the initial surgery? I heard something about implant's lifelong warranty. What for a change does it make between initial and revision surgery costs?

I doubt that revisions are a predictable cost. There is too many variables involved. All the way from a splice in the tubing to a complete replacement.

Re: Cost of revision?
Since it is hardly predictable, I would like to hear someone's experience. Someone who has gone through it. It would help to get a minimal idea at very least.

Re: Cost of revision?
I got implanted 3 months ago, insurance only partially covered it. Facility fee for the hospital, which didn’t include the implant hardware or the surgeon’s fee, was $8k.
On one hand, I don’t expect this fee would be any less for a revision than an initial implant, and I don’t think a medical device warranty would cover it. On the other hand, I believe I’ve heard that insurance companies are better about covering revisions than they are at covering initial implants. I believe the thinking goes that it’s hard to prove that you’ve exhausted all options and that the implant is necessary to get an erection. Once you have the implant, it’s the only way you can achieve an erection, so if it breaks it is necessary to replace it.

Re: Cost of revision?
$68,000.00 for first implant - my co-pay was $1,500.00
Revision (failed after 2 years) - $105,000 - my copay was $3,100 - difficult surgery to correct issues caused by first surgeon.

Can you please also add the name of your surgeon(s)?

Re: Cost of revision?
My original Dr. was Richard Natale of Charlotte / COncord NC. I will never go back to him and do not recommend.
