Dr. James Campbell - Insurance



Recommended Posts

How do I get my insurance to Pay. I have United Health Insurance. I went to a meetting with Dr. Martin in Hot Springs. That was a Joke. All there was was bunch of old ladies that wanted to find out if their medicare paid for the surgery. After I made my appointment Dr. Martin cancelled me becuase after I took the day off work saying she needed to get my insurance paper work together. After I faxed her everything the she needed she canclled my second appointment and said if I want to talk to her it will cost me $200 what is that?

I have tricare, so I am not knowledgeable with yours. But, it seems to me that you may want to look for another surgeon. If they show you respect when you start the process, you sure aren't going to get any post-op. Ask your primary care doc to recommend a surgeon, ask around or call your ins co.

Good luck

respect I never talked to her. I was going to the appointment with my mother all the appointments were made and done though my mom. This was all over a two week time frame. Just felt mislead and not like she didn't know what she was doing.

Paula- I work in surgery in Hot Springs, I'd look in the Little Rock area. I had mine done by Dr. Luttrell and have nothing but good things to say about the people in his office. Call your insurance company first to find out if the procedure is covered - they will know!! Ask if they pay for anything related to Bariatric Surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
