		<description>Yvonne,

I subscribed to the Chamber Card in Dec. as a back up to Medicare just in
case they declined my surgery of Dec. 11. You see Medicare does not pre
approve surgery. After subscribing I found out that you must be enrolled
and have been on the plan for 2 months prior to hospital admittance before
they will authorize the services thru the PPO network. Fortunately Medicare
approved and paid for my hospital bill which was $33,000 plus, they paid
9,700. and the hospital wrote off 22,000 in charges. The Chamber program
would have required that I pay up front $1,000 per day m as Medicare paid
the bill my cost of hospital was my deductable of $812. I don't know what my
surgeon charged yet but the Chamber Card said that he would accept as
payment in full$3700.
If you need any more info feel free to e=mail me your questions,

		<description>Pam,

Have you or anyone out there heard of The Chamber Card. It includes all
the savings of the Medical PPO Network (Doctors, Hospitals, and
Ancillary Services, Dental Network, Vision Network, Pharmacy Network,
Hearing Network, Chiropractic Network, Pet Network, Legal Network, Alt
Care, Air Ambulance and the Nurse Hotline. As you may have read, my
last distraut email was about getting rejected for coverage by the
hospital that had given me so much hope. If any one else has any
suggesstions then PLEASE HELP.....
