(I don't suppose bcbs will pay for that..) Anyways now I am a nervous wreck again. hope I don't have a breakdown before I can schedule this surgery. lol! Anyone else have to have this pre authorization visit with Dr. R? >> Dinah, You have to get to Durham somehow. All of the Alabama people did. I did, did, Ivan did, Carolyn did. Clinic is required, so get it out of the way. drove there. With the cost of gas, it's probably comparable to flying. I flew the first time for $138, and the second time for $156 round trip. Hook or crook, you gotta get there. I knew the criteria, so I didn't wait for them to ask. They are way sneaky and they are getting tougher on new approvals, but if you have everything you need, they will pay. Georgia Brown knows what she is talking about. Do exactly what she says. le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Dinah, I too have to go visit Dr. R before they will approve me. If there are other things needed then I guess this visit will supply that to them. Keep me posted. in SC Wanting to start a new life with the help of MGBsurgery by Dr. R If you see someone without a smile, Give them one of yours. If you and I should meet and you forget me, you have lost nothing. If you meet JESUS and you forget him, you will have lost everything.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 --- Clinic visit is 255.oo you need your insurence data. I have insurance and didnt pay at that time. You may choose not to see the Dr. one on one..... and then you wont be charged the visit. You do have a general answer and question session with everyone in the room.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Debbie told me it's $255.00 and they will file with my ins. Of course, they will probably not pay for the clinic!

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2000 Report Share Posted June 30, 2000 Hey , I have the same motto for every aspect of my life! If I want something... I just say charge it, too!
