Guest guest Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I have a few times. If you have a PPO plan it is not a problem as long as the surgeon carries that insurance. Only thing to be aware of is that the doctor's office and the hospital are looked at as separate providers so you want to make sure your insurance covers both. If your insurance covers neither they would need to submit a request and your insurance will review. You have to prove to them that there is no one in your area that can do that procedure. If you have any more questions let me know. Subject: Re: TSC Doctors List To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Friday, August 10, 2012, 12:23 PM Â Great idea to complile a list!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'd like to add Dr. Tye, at VCU in Richmond. He is awesome. We have seen 4 other neurosurgeons and he is by far the most awesome dr. ever. I *think* he does adults also. He is willing to think outside the box, which is necessary in neurosurgery where things aren't always what they seem, etc. As for out of state with insurance, if you have a PPO, it's normally no problem at all. If you have a state assisted program or medicaid, most likely it won't be covered. To: tetheredspinalcord From: chrismike@...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Ben Carson is world re-known as his journey to becoming a doctor is pretty inspiring.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I had surgery in Chicago with Dr. Frim. Worked out well. Although first year after was hell, I could not imagine traveling. I did it for work and most of the time I was useless. However if I didn't think Dr. Frim would do I great job I would've been on that plane! ------------------------------ >Also, Dr. Jallo trained under Ben Carson...
