I just learned that its $3800 per injection, just the injection, not including the visit etc with Dr. Goldstein. I'm distraught, I don't have that kind of money. Any advice? Is there:
- A country that does the procedure cheaper?
- Is there a special insurance I can seek out that will cover it? (mine doesn't, Enhanced Care PPO thru Covered California
- How many injections typically are done?
- Is the treatment that good? Slam dunk?
- Is this superior to verapamil and interferon?
I'm so grateful for any advice or comments
Why did enhanced care PPO deny it? I would appeal their denial. Do you have the minimum 30 degree curve and for at least 6 months? Most insurances initially deny expensive procedures which in order to get covered must be appealed. You need a doc who will help w the appeal. Dr Levine who is very well regarded believes in verapramil injections which are less expensive.

I haven't been denied, I guess I just assumed since Goldstein's office isn't covered. The visit alone is gonna be a $1500 visit without the injection. I'll get on the phone with my insurance and dig, thank you for the reply which just gave me a little encouragement and hope.
Anybody been treated in Costa Rica? They do a lot of medical procedures cheaper down there, people come in from Canada and US. https://www.health-tourism.com/peyronies-disease-surgery/costa-rica/ (https://www.health-tourism.com/peyronies-disease-surgery/costa-rica/)
