Are you having a Charite overseas with Dr. Zeegers? i wonder if they are willing to pay for a device implanted overseas that is not FDA approved...and why would they pay for an FDA approved device implanted in Europe but not in the US?

Doesn't make any sense other than they pay a smaller percentage (for out of network dr) of a less expensive surgery????

Is Dr. Zeegers still making you pay up front and you're just encouraged by the fact you might be reimbursed? Or is Dr. Zeegers "accepting" your insurance and billing later?
