Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 , Dr. Hess never told me I had to have tests done at the hospital. They offered me the opportunity to have them done there, but my ins pays if I have it done ( luckily for me ) at the hospital across the street from me. I live 1 hour away from Dr. Hess. I know that the tests have to be done at most 2 weeks before surgery. I was in the hospital in Dec for a new medical problem so I decided to have all the tests done and get them over with. Too bad I didn't know about the 2 week rule because now I have to have them all done over again when I reschedule the surgery ( I have to cancel due to ins fight). So call the office and let them know where you are going to have the tests done and make sure they ( the testing hospital) has Dr. Hess's fax number and ask them to send it to him and send to you a copy so they can't lose it. Hope this helps, preop retained Walter to fight ins co body to be designed by Hess Remember it all started with a mouse. -Walt Disney- vvanb@...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 : Thanks for the info. It was one of the office girls that told me that I would have to have things done there and like I said, I was hoping once I got in to talk with Dr. Hess, I could find out from HIM if this was necessary. But everything has to be done within 2 weeks of the surgery huh? What a drag:). I don't mind seeing his internist if need be, but as of right now, my internist is supportive and I am hoping that the two (him and Dr.Hess) can tag-team my follow- up! Thanks again for the information and I wish you the best with your approval. > , > Dr. Hess never told me I had to have tests done at the hospital.
