does anyone know if ahcccs will pay for it or half of it or something?
I was told by Mercy care that they do not pay for the lapband at all. So I am in the process of switching healthcare plans to Apipa. I was denied to switch plans and now I am appealing it so I can get my band fixed. are you going for the Lapband ?? I tried to get in by Simpson but they want 600 up front and they want me to pay it. So I dont know what to tell you because I was told that mercy care does not cover the lapband at all. So if I switch to apipa Dr Juarez has worked with that insurance I guess. I had my surgury in wisconsin but my lap band is broke right now and I am having a hell of a time getting someone to help me. Well thats all for now thanx Sue good luck
I am sorry that you are having a hard time. There are almost no places that will work on a patient that has had work from another doctor. I know that at wliaz.com they will work on you but they can't do work for free but they have reasonable rates. When someone takes over you care, they are taking over a huge unknown responsibility. I hope that you are able to find someone to help you soon or you already have found help.
Thanks,
