I tried to download this several times... to no avail... will just paste the info in:

LAP-BAND FILL POLICY

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2004

Tina T. Wells, M.D. and Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.

17505 Old Jefferson Highway

Prairieville, La 70769

Ph (225) 673-8983

Fax (225) 677-8983

1. The price for all fills will be $300.00 per fill. This price includes the facility fee, the physician fees, and all supplies.

2. For all patients getting their first fill after their surgery they will get a maximum of 4cc in their band if they have the 11cc band.

3. All fills are done under fluoroscopy under the supervision of both physicians without exception. This is done to ensure that complications are minimized and results are maximized.

4. We will offer a one-time discount fill to patients who do not feel restriction after they have a fill. For example if you come for a fill in January and pay $300 and do not feel restriction, you can schedule to come back in February and we will repeat your fill for $150. If these patients feel they need to come back in March for another fill the cost will again be $300. The discount is only extended until the next schedule date that we do the fills. We will be doing fills on average once a month.

(EXCEPTION: Patients getting their first fill after surgery get max 4cc – restriction is not expected).

5. We rent a fluoroscopy facility for these procedures so all these procedures must be scheduled through Dana at our office. The frequency averages once a month but the dates change. The fills will ALWAYS be done on Friday afternoon between 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

We have worked out the kinks and hope these changes can accommodate more patients.

Thank you and good luck!

Tina T. Wells, M.D. and Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.
