Mass Health Neighborhood Health Plan
I had NHP commonwealth care and My surgeon is Dr. Rayford Kruger in wareham Mass. Basically I had my first appointment with him and he told me I was a perfect canidate at the end of May. I went through the process of seminars, nutrionist, and psych and was approved and had my surgery 8/31/10. I couldn't get over how quick the process was and i think the only thing i needed to do was to lose between 10-20 pounds before surgery. I was called up a week before my surgery and was told i was approved and was given a date. Not sure how other doctor's offices operate but I know NHP covers the entire surgery and your only responsible for the psych and seminars which cost me $500. Good luck to you

Hi.. I have no idea if I'm posting this post in the right spot..I have my first apt. At warehams associates with my surgeon tomorrow. DR. KRUGER. I AM SO AFRAID OF SAYING THE WRONG THINGS. I AM ON 47 MILLIGRAMS OF METHADONE. I HAVE BEEN COMING OF THE LAST 6 MONTHS. DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY SAID THAT MY PHONE WAS A PROBLEM. AND NOT HAND LIKE TO SEE ME AT 10 MILLIGRAMS BEFORE THE SURGERY. I AM ACTUALLY WILLING TO DO THIS. I HATE METHADONE I WANT TO BE OFF I HAVE NOT USED DRUGS IN OVER 3 YEARS. He mention the 10 milligrams at the seminar. I am terrified that I will be treated differently Because I'm a recovering addict. That has happened to me quite a few times. My life has changed I'm a productive member of society. Has anyone I have this surgery on methadone. I have mass health as well . I heard that there is a 6 month program required when you have masshealth. Anyone can help me with how to go when I present my case you with the doctor about being treated differently. And if anybody knows any information on mass health.. thank you so much. Have a blessed day..xxx
