Doc not willing 2/c me

Shop around for a fill location. I know that the folks that go to Mexico, find fill locations here in the USA. Best wishes to you!

I just found these docs/ clinnics who are willing to take me,

Bronxville bariatrics, westchester county (300-500 fill)

NYU bariatrics, manhattan (500 fill)

Jacobi hospital bariatrics (made appt w their surgeon) take all major insurance, no self paid

I also found several private clinics in Teaneck, NJ, Brooklyn, NY, Long Island

St. Luke's hospital in NYC

I don't think the costs you mention are unheard of. My Dr office was billing my insurance $600 for a "visit" with fill, NUT session, all my fills now are done with fluoro. This year, it is $700 per visit. This is a summary of my recent visits bill:$700.00 Bill received by Aetna on 12/19/2012Your Aetna member rate $364.03Your total responsibility: $72.80Included: Office visit = $100Fluoroscopic Guidance $125Contrast XRAY Upper GI Tract $175Adjustment Gastric Band $300

My insurance company has been changed (I'm no longer with Aetna) and I'm not sure they will cover any of the costs, so the prices I was quoted were for self pay fills. With my old insurance I didn't have to pay out of pocket for fills for a year so I was surprised the costs were as low as they were.

Nyu!!!! Yesss all the doctors there are so nice and sweet! They take all sorts of insurance.. I have crappy insurance and they take mine lol

And I know what your saying about the ER! If you tell them you don't have a surgeon in NY,

they will give u the referral to a specific doctor in the discharge papers, with that referral the doctor almost always takes the patient.

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow!
