Fitbone nail is an internal nail at least as good as Precise and Dr. Baumgart from Germany was the first doctor to use it but nowadays he charges almost as much as Dr. Rozbruch.
But since several years, Dr. Monegal from Barcelona Spain is using Fitbone and offering the whole procedure at much ower price!. Fitbone manufacturer Wittenstein, say Dr. Monegal is one of their best surgeons!
Dr. Monegal offers limb lengthening, including everything except post op x-rays, physiotherapy and removal for less than 40,000 USD.
I am in Barcelona right now and about to finish lengthening.
Physiotherapy cost less than 40 USD per hour.
2 X-rays cost less than 70 USD.
Removal of implant is around 2500 USD.
Rehab residency costs 1700 USD for a double room, but 24 hour caretaker, pool and gym and metro station literaly 3 yards aways with lines to the mountains or to the beach.
Very few Dr Rozbruch diaries exist, i'd appreciate if you don't clutter this forum with shameless plugs for others. Thanks
Limb Lengthening-Internal Femurs-Dr Rozbruch 2017
6feetsoon,
Do you have any idea on how many patients did Dr.Rozbruch has done this procedure using the precice 2 nails? Did you ask him/did he tell you?
Just curious about his expertise regarding cosmetic bilateral femoral internals
Quote from: 6FeetSoon on January 17, 2017, 08:01:11 PMBecause the hospital stay in and of itself, is not an elective procedure. Its a standard medical expense that one is expected to incur for one reason or another over time.
Sorry guys this just doesn't make sense to me. some insurance is going to cover an $80,000 hospital stay because they expect to incur that cost for one reason or another.... um no if they expected that for all their insured they would be out of business. I am in the insurance field. also can you explain why Paley nor any other CLL doctor in US can get insurance to cover the hospital fees, but Rozbruch can? what insurance company and plan do you have? also you said you were going to upload the quote Dr. Rozburch gave you ,can you do that now?

Colleague of mine already had this done and AETNA (also my provider) covered part of the hospital stay. I'm over this part of the discussion. I sent the breakdown to Lubak via email. Shoot me a PM if you want it. I've heard of people not getting their xrays and expenses covered (very unfortunate). As i said though, mine have already been partially covered in this process.

Yeah he's done a ton of these. His clients are usually a bit wealthier by virtue of his location. (Upper East Side Manhattan). You really should do your own research on him if you want to convince yourself he's the best in the business. All i'd end up doing is regurgitating his resume to you (professor of ortho surgery at weill cornell, chief of complex reconstruction at HSS, etc.)
As for why insurance might cover rozbruch and not others, the cosmetic part of his practice isnt his primary focus like some of these other guys who make it their selling point. Also his process is super rigorous, which means the chances of you being turned away are pretty high, ie. People aren't lining up at his door to do this.
Could lubik post the breakdown please because, as I said in another post, I contacted Dr Rozbruch and it was around 130k.
pm sent

Pretty sure he gave you the breakdown for everything assuming insurance covered nothing (which is obviously the prudent and conservative thing to do since he doesnt want you caught off guard). But HIS expenses are what I'm referring to, anything else is between you and insurance.
Tiny tim i sent it
Ohh I have done alot of research.. Only that usually, no top doctor seperates between the Cll and normal LL (not cosmetic LL) procedures... Even when talking with Paley, it was a general answer of "one CLL per week an average".
Also, Rozbruch along with Paley are the best surgeons in the field who both arent doing mainly cosmetic LL but get their money from fixing congenital and other traumatic problems....
You chose wisely to go to him. Anyone who can afford should either go with Rozbruch or Paley (too bad herzberg doesnt do CLL as well though...).
Again wishing you the best of luck
