It would be a great help if you could repond with
1. Type of Insurance (Blue cross, healthnet...etc.)
2. HMO. PPO. Self Pay Insurance, Cash, Medi???
3. Your doctors name and state.


Thanks for your help!

At the time of my wls, I had Blud Shield HMO.

I now have Healthnet HMO Elect Open Access (PPO access) which is very expensive under my Cobra...ouch.
