Dr. Champion and State of GA Insurance
When I started looking years ago, I went to Dr. Champion's office to start the process. I had state of GA insurance and there was no way they would pay for the surgery. Jump forward a few years and the HRA pays for the surgery. Last year, Dr. Champion was not one of the surgeons covered. I am not sure if that has changed since then.
Dr. William Johnson did my surgery. He is wonderful!!!! He is very knowledgeable and I have had no complications. His staff is terrific. He performs surgery at Emory @ John's Creek. The hospital was outstanding.
Hope this helps
