5 weeks since implant.

Postby oldgoat » Fri Dec 13, 2013 5:10 pm

Got the titan 5 weeks ago and pumped up for the first time today.
5 1\2 inches. Lost a half inch in length but gained at least that much in girth.
Medicare paid $1450. The total billed was $6360.
My secondary will not cover it. Looks like I will be billed for $240.
Made sure my doc accepted medicare assignment before I scheduled the procedure.
All went well and I am a happy camper. The wife will be thrilled.
Regards, goat
Implanted with colorplast Titan 3 years ago. Davinci radical prostatectomy 6 months ago. Very happy with the outcome of both procedures.

I admit, I don't understand this computation at all.
Total bill normally is near 20k. $1450 might be the Medicare co-pay in your case being retired,
and the $240 look to me like the medication charge….?????

Hope that I am wrong.

In talking to my wife, she thinks that you did not yet get all of the charges;
hospital, anesthesia, medication, doctor's office….?
$ 6360 total cost is unheard of for this procedure.

Did you stretch 6 inches in the flaccid condition? My doctor told me I would retain what I stretched in the office which was 6.5 inches. I am going into my 3rd week since surgery.
