Do all of the AMS 700 models come with this? Or just the LGX? I will have to talk to my doctor when I am ready to replace mine.

Thanks!

Hello, I've been reading about the AMS 700 LGX and some people mention these extenders. Are they to help make it longer? I had an AMS 700 put in 4 or 5 years ago but cannot remember which model. Its the dual cylinders I know. It stopped working last year because of a leak and the doctor said I need ...

When I had the implant put in I had United Healthcare and it covered all of it. I left that job I had it through and lost the insurance. I then had BCBS recently and they did not cover it. So how can I fins out ahead of time if an insurance policy will cover this for replacing it? Would I need to ca...

I no longer have insurance so I'm on self pay now. I'll probably just save up the $5K and have it replaced. I'm a software developer and I have a startup that is going to do well so I'll have to reserve some of the funds for this.

Thanks

A couple months ago my doctor said he had to put a new implant in cause mine stopped working and he could hear air in the bulb when squeezing it. I can't afford to have it done now. I have to pay the doctor's fee of $5k and then let the hospital bill me. I guess even if they did repair them then I w...

Thanks for the replies. They told me for paying myself it would be around $25K if done at their place. If I did it at the hospital I would only pay the doctor's fee of $4k and the hospital would bill me. But I don't have the money to pay the hospital even after. So I'm going to call back tomorrow an...

The lady at the office handling this asked if I wanted to appeal it and I said no cause I spoke with someone at blue cross blue shield and they said they do not cover this type of surgery. I had United Healthcare when I had the implant put in 4 years ago. Even if BCBS said they do not cover this sho...

Today I got a call from the urologist telling me my insurance will not cover the replacement of my broken implant. This means I have to cover the costs myself. I imagine it is around $20k to $30k from what I hear. I believe I have the AMS 700 with the dial cylinders. It was obviously smaller than wh...

I recently got health insurance with BCBS through the contracting company I was working for. The urologist ran it through to have my implant replaced and hey got a verbal approval. But they will not give any authorization number. They said after the surgery they accept the claim and tell what they c...

Thanks, I'll post an update as I find out more. The doctor asked what I wanted to do cause I guess some people may say no to doing it again but I will. Just give me plenty of ice for after!
