I think that is CRAZY!!!  There should be no fee for them to file insurance papers... DAMN, they get paid ENOUGH as is!  I would call around to other doctors.  I have never heard of a fee for them to do paperwork!

I know that some doctors charge 'program fee's but that is more around the classes they have you take.

Good luck!  I know that Dr Procter and Dr Richard doesn't charge such a fee.

Let me tell ya how that $250 was a godsend for me.... I was in ins paperwork hell at Johnson/Hart's office... no fee but since they gave me erroneous info regarding my ins requirements I wound up paying over $500 in unecesary visits etc etc .....not to count the emotional/stress that I enountered...

I think this is a small price to pay for competence...... I now have a friend who is filing with Macik because she was going to a true results company who screwed up her paperwork badly tooo.....

You get what you pay for..... and you have to be financially ready for this surgery.... you will need to take vitamins, b12 shots, protein drinks etc...... This is vital and not without monetary investment into yourself......

My program fee is over $1800 out of pocket. Was told by surgeon's office insurance will likely not reimburse me for any of it.  $250 is a good deal.

I'll pay your bill if you pay mine!

 Interesting, I am with UNHC and My surgeon is Dr Celio Burrowes.
My paper work has been submitted, processed and approved. There has been no mention of an outside fee.
