From what I have heard in the support group meetings, Blue Shield has

been authorizing only $1800.

My friend has the same insurance and she goes to the same medical

group and she was approved and hasn't paid anything. Are you saying

that they only pay $1800 to Dr Rabkin? Could that be why he might

possibly not be accepting? This doesn't sound right to me.

It is just what I heard at a Support Group meeting about Blue Cross.

I always thought that Blue Cross was a good company until I heard

that.

If this is true about Dr R, I don't understand why.

Dr R has been charging full surgeon fees to his

patients anyway so why cut out the insurer???
