Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 , I don't know if you have checked into Dr Uszler yet. If you have not here is his info. http://www.drspectscan.com/index12.html I highly recommend him. I don't know about medicare but it's definitely worth the effort to call. Good luck ita <xrascott@...> wrote: AT LAST, I have a prescription from my neurologist for a SPECT scan/ HBOT dive/SPECT scan evaluation. Medicare I am advised will pay for this. I need advice about where I can get this done. It has to be in the US, I'm sure, to get Medicare to reimburse, and unless I'm willing to pay extra (which I can't afford) I need to find someone who accepts Medicare. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Neurologists want you to keep needing meds. That way you will be the bread and butter patients of the practice. Regular small incoming money!! We used to go to the one in Ga who was fighting Freel's case for hbot for medicaid. Now I take my daughter to an adult neuro. After the last 40 last summer, I reduced her meds 33%. She now takes 2 pills per day instead of 3.
