Hi RB.

Was that quote for $120k for one or both segments?

Thanks

Hey mate.

The quote was for one segment with stryde.

I'm sort of curious about what kind of Medical Insurance he recommended, still seems super far fetched.

you will never get insurance to cover LL unless you have achondroplasia. Even if you are a 5'0 male you still will not get LL for free.

That was my understanding. Which is why it seems super weird that he's said that he has had other patients claim insurance.  That's why I asked I wonder what sort of Health Insurance they are referring to. 

I can only imagine they found a Psychiatrist/Psychologist willing to make a pretty risky recommendation for the surgery. In addition I imagine you'd probably need another comorbid, so maybe it was someone with achondroplasia.

End Thread.

Additionally this entire thread should be removed. OP never even did LL and stopped replying when people asked him basic questions about the consult.

Yeah this is an incredibly misleading thread, probably tricked a bunch of people into getting hope that insurance will cover LL and OP seriously thought he was going to get insurance approval at the height of 5'7 😂😂

This will give false hope to alot of poor patients

I was told this by them also but I am 5 foot 4 which is a lot shorter.

Though with that said, even then I am not very confident in it being true.

The user RB was exactly your height 5'4 and went with Dr Betz after consulting with O'carrigan. No one except legitimate dwarfs are getting covered by Medicare/insurance for cosmetic limb lengthening. It would be a national medical scandal if taxpayers discovered they were paying for short men to get CLL. It is incredibly unethical that the doctor and his team are saying this.

That is upsetting that they are doing that if this is the case.

I will let you know how I go!
