talked to the girl who took my insurance info at the office, she

assured me he takes this insurance. I will check again tomorrow, my

surgery is next week and i sure don't want to come out and find out i

will be owing Dr. G for the rest of my thin life! this topic came up

before months ago and it almost made me loose the chance to have dr.

g. To the original poster , just keep calling the insurance peolpe at

his office to you get an answer. i

talked to at least three different people in his office that gave

different answers.One thing is funny I have not got that slip from my

insurance company yet saying " this provider has accepted... " i will

look into that tomorrow. Good luck BB >>

Wow, BB: How frustrating! I hope that Dr. G does take your insurance...

there could be an exception to his 'no insurance policy' rule... Getting

different answers at different times is not too uncommon at that office,

unfortunately.

I would definately double-triple re-check with them before your surgery ---

Just to make absolutely sure. But, it sounds good that he may still take

your policy!

I was so glad I had the surgery done this past January when he was still

taking Oxford. However, I couldn't believe that NO ONE contacted me about

his stopping the insurance... I had to find out about it here online!

all the best,
