No my Health Net network is El Dorado so I use Marshall medical. so far they have not said anything I see Dr. fuller at UCD on 11/16 my PCP did alot of the blood work and the mama gram and called Health Net to see if I could choose who I went to. I was looking at Dr. Machado also but they said I had to go to UCD. Health Net approved my fist visit to see Dr. fuller very fast I hope they will approve the lap band as fast. The longest wait was Dr. Fullers office they will not make an appt. if you have not gone to there seminar. I had just missed the one in September so I had to wait for the one in October a week later they called and set me up to see him on 11/16 it is a 4 hour appt. Stacie

Marebeth, Thank you for all of the info I received my packet in the mail on Thursday and filled it out the same day. as for the insurance it will cover that is why I have to go to UCD my PCP called them to find out were I would have to go so they did not send me to the wrong place.They have approved the first visit know I have to wait also my PCP did most of the test they need so I hope they will approve me for the lap band like you that is what I want. Thanks again Stacie -
Thank you for the info I guess I should get ready for a fight. Where do you live I'm in Camino, CA or as most people know it apple hill it's in El Dorado county. If they do not pay I will have to start saving the more I read on this board the more I know this is what I need.

I know this is an old post but I was wondering if Health Net paid with out giving you a bad time. I have Health Net and I have seen my pcp and he is sending me to see Dr. Ali I think he is out of the ucd site. I just hope they will cover me I can not pay out of pocket right know.
