Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm having a hard time searching past posts. I just changed my insurance to Kaiser FLexible Choice Option which uses the PHCS network of providers. Essentially we can select any provider within the Kaiser or PHCS networks. The approval process goes through Health International. Has anyone ever heard of them? Whose system governs the approval process - Kaiser or Health International? Will I have to do the 6 months with a Kaiser nutritionist when my primary doc and surgeon are both outside of Kaiser and in the PHCS network. I keep getting different answers to this question! Please help. Thanks Amari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I believe that it goes with Kaiser. I'm no expert on Kaiser they drive me nuts sometimes but I know if you use doctors and surgeon out of the Kaiser and go with PHCS it will cost more.amari_oshun wrote: Hi everyone.I'm new here and I'm having a hard time searching past posts.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Thank you so much Tracie! I am willing to pay more to get a surgeon with more experience. I just don't want to wait 6 more months. What exactly is the rationale for the 6 month diet and 10% weight loss? Amari -------------- Original message -------------- I believe that it goes with Kaiser.
