Default what kind of insurance do you have?

I am doing a study on what kind of insurance gastric bypass patients have.

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!
Rain
