I'm glad to see you all talking about "program fees". I went to a seminar today for Dr. Bobby (Bhasker-Rao) near Palm Springs, CA. He sounds great, but near the end of the seminar, he mentioned his "Program fee" which is $7,000, above what insurance pays. I nearly left the seminar. Has anybody here used Dr. Bobby? Do you know what the fee pays for? I can understand it being a good deal if you have insurance that makes you pay co-pays and for your own fills, but I have Tricare and it pays 100 per cent. This "fee" just doesn't feel right to me (Not that I can afford it, anyway.) Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the Inland Empire? (I'm near Hemet, but don't mind traveling to Palm Springs, Riverside, etc.) Thank you, Ava
