Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Hi .. Not a problem... Yes.. The hospital can tell the Dr's what they can and cannot do because the Dr's only work FOR the hospital.. Dr R only has control over his office.. As far as the other Dr's in NC doing this surgery, I still need to call there is still one I need to call tomorrow but, i am expecting lots of information through snail nail this week.. I will let you know what I find out..

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2000 Report Share Posted June 4, 2000 Hi Joanne... Then, how are people getting approved and having surgeries? If the Dr can prove it is medically necessary, then medicaid will cover it.. In my thoughts and prayers, Terri >Also, hospitals can not allow Medicaid for elective procedures, which the >MGB >is. they must take it for emergencies.
