@linda1334 I went to NJH self pay and while it wasn’t cheap, it did not cost $10s of thousands of dollars. Feel free to DM me if you would like to learn more about my experience as a self-pay patient at NJH.

If I were in your position, I WOULD ask the doc to write a referral, citing the complexity of your case, the expertise of NJH, and the fact that after referral, he (or another local pulmo) would oversee your care with their assistance. It is absolutely worth a try!
