Michaela,

Welcome to the IL board. There is a "sticky post" on the top of the board that might have the information you are looking for. I know that it has a lot of responses but there is one that gives a pretty good list of what you are looking for.

Join us on the daily roll call. That is where we have all gotten to know one another.

Ive looked and seen a list of Doctors but not DS IDPA insurance information unless I missed it..

I will definetely look again:) Thank you for replying!! :)

Okay, so I do not get this incorrect - UIC is different than University of Chgo, correct? There is a doctor at the later that does DS and accepts medicare, Dr Vivek Prachand & Alverdy. I am not sure if that is the same insurance as you have, sorry for the ignorance. On the top of page 3 of the sticky post is info regarding these doctors.

Call the hospital you want to go to and see if they have a doctor that takes the insurance, you might want to inquire about Dr Vitello.

Be very aware of the waiting list that you might encounter. You might want to read through some more of the sticky post and see if there is a doctor and hospital that might better suit you.

I am not sure why you deactivated your membership and I hope it is not something that I said. Good luck to you if and when you come back to OH.
