Southern Cal Cigna MD's?

[parisluver 1]

I went to a well known doctor in West LA. His office told me he accepts Cigna as full payment. After going for my initial visit I received a bill for $350 - Cigna paid $95. They are not a Cigna provider in the true sense - they only accept it as 70% pay...they did not tell me this.

Don't you think they should have told me this when I asked them if they accepted Cigna? I had talked to another doctor closet to me who said they would take Cigna but I would have to pay an additional $6000 as Cigna doesn't pay the doctor "enough".....I even told the LA doctor this story and they laughed and said they'd take all his business...what crooks..I was so pissed

With that said...does anyone know a southern cal doctor who will take cigna as FULL payment for lapband?

Thanks
