How much did your IPP cost out of pocket?

[Desperado]

Insurance coverage can be challenging.

I’m 57, in the USA, and my insurance doesn’t cover ED treatments.

But once I really ready the exceptions page closely it say that they don’t cover treatments for sexual function EXCEPT surgical implantation of penile implant for ED.




And it turned out they covered my surgery. I still had to pay a percentage and the total ended up being between $5000-$6000. Not an insignificant amount of money, but better than I expected.


So it’s definitely worth reading your policy closely. I also think it’s a plus if a high volume surgeon. Their office staff know ALL the insurance policies and which codes will get a yes from which companies.

That’s the ballpark I’m looking at with straight Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. About a $15-25 K procedure, initially, then Medicare pays what they deem their portion (preset), I pay 20% of that, so after everything, I’m budgeting $4-6 K.

When does Medicare kick in for you? 9years? 11years? I’ve lost track of the age it stats. 65? 67? Initially I had hoped that shots would get me through until Medicare kicked in for me. But my ED continued to progress United shots no longer worked.

I'm on Medicare Advantage and I've already paid the out of pocket cost of $455.00 for my implant in two days.
