I don't have any information other than what's on the website. Well, I have United Healthcare, if that helps. :)I was interested to see that his exercise physiology degree is from the University of CT. That's where I went to school.

I would just give them a quick call to double check. That's the same one I have and she said that UHC even partially covers the stop smoking classes. I have not confirmed that and as I said, I may have to pay for a few of the more obscure tests that I asked for. I'll let you know how that goes. You're probably better than me at checking insurance as you go along, but being Canadian, I always forget to ask about each individual thing once I know that the doctor is in network. I have to be more diligent about that. So far I've just paid the $20.

Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.

I emailed them from their site, both about the insurance, and about being a distant patient.I couldn't do any classes, coming from San . All the plans are different anyway - I have no co-payment, but an enormous deductible. We've almost met the deductible already, though. Not sure if I should be pleased or upset at THAT!

Wow, that's a long way. Did you check the list for doctor's near San ?

My out-of-network deductible is over $6,000 so there's no way I would

ever meet it.

I hear you! Both of my daughters need to be seen. I was hoping the $2000 was for the family. No such luck it is $4000 for the family.

Ouch! I think ours if 500 but it is Postal and there is a huge Union.. more people, better rates. It sure helps. We still have a ton of bills with Jims surgery and my knee shots which are about $500 a piece and I had not met my deductible. I had to have three shots.

My appointment is with Dr . Aubrey is outside of Denton. Aubrey is in between Dallas and Ft Worth but north, kind of the top of a triangle.

I did get a prescription for Armour from another doctor but now I'm having adrenal issues.

It doesn't look like any of the doctors in the Dallas/Ft Worth area that treat adrenals are in my Blue Cross/Blue Shield network. My daughters still need to be treated for at least the thyroid. I'm a bit afraid to have them see a doctor that only does thyroid since I'm having adrenal issues.

One other doc not on our list who will do adrenals is Bessie Owens in Mesquite. But for thyroid, she will not treat below a TSH of about .3. If you feel well with a TSH that high, you might want to check her out. She is on Shomon's Top Doc List.Kim Hanson wrote: Gonino is not in network. K.
