Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 I don't know if I can let doctors off the hook as easy as you do. I think that with people's lives, and the quality of their lives in their hands, they should constantly be looking at the latest medical evidence. Glad you liked my martian line; sometimes (with casual friends and acquaintances) I wish I could remember to just keep my big mouth shut. I am getting better I guess cause I can talk about it all I want to with you guys. ;-) (Los Angeles) Kaiser > In a message dated 3/30/2001 9:57:25 AM Pacific Standard Time, > GFCFKids writes: > > > > ?.

Don't all the Drs need to be in their system to get them to approve? Because, wow, I checked and I can't believe it, but they ARE in OH. I knew they were in SoCA because I used to live there and had Kaiser with one of my or my x-husband's employers. I wouldn't mind getting insurance with them because I am sure they would be cheaper in monthly costs. BUT, I want to make sure they will ok this surgery before I take any insurance.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 I've had Kaiser for years and have had excellent care. My doctor is the one who told me this surgery was available - I didn't think Kaiser would pay for such a surgery!!!! --- MsMystic1@... wrote: > In a message dated 6/24/01 1:39:06 PM Eastern > Daylight Time, > duodenalswitch writes: > > << shs43bulldog@... > Subject: Re: Re:insurance > > What about Kaiser Permanente.
