Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Bob,the only refernce to 2500 I can find is that it is costing Dr.R per month to print manuals.Maybe I am not looking in the right place .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Check below, as of September the Deposit is $2500.00. I know it may seem like alot, but being a healthcare professional myself, you have no idea of the amount Docs get stiffed for. And Dr. R. really seems to make alot of personal sacrafices for us all already. It;s just another small hurdle, but you can make it. > Re: Hey, Guys! > > Hey, Guys!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hi Bob, How did you find out it was $2500.00? Did you get to call the office? Did they say if it was new patients in Sept or any surgery in Sept.? All I can see below from Dr. R. is that they no longer want to spend $2500 to print out manuals monthly to send to people.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Dah...............my fault. the way the e-mail seperated and printed thigs out for me, the sentaances ran together. You are right about the $2500.00 in manuals. Ha Ha, It's always the computers fault right! No, then I'm not sure of the deposit amount. He is a great man, I'm sure he will make it fair and affordable. I can't wait to meet him. My hoops to jume are not on his side but mine. I just called this morning to talk to my PCP. My insurance denied, which is no problem I will pay cash, but My Dr. since she is a part of the insurance plan, was hesitent about wirting a letter saying she wil ldo the follow-up. I informed her this morning, that follow-up is a major key part of this and I would gladly pay cash for that as well, and then insurance wasn't a problem. I'm waiting to hear back from her. I know there are other Docs, etc... But no one else seems to go the extra mile ( or 10 miles in Dr. R's case) for WLS patients. I am a healtcare administrator, and previous OR/Surgery director. he is a rare find in a surgeon. Guess after all my research, I am just really set on doing my best to be accepted by him. We have to keep plugging on and do our part, he and his staff are sure doing theirs for us. Bob > Re: Hey, Guys! > > Hi Bob, > > How did you find out it was $2500.00?
