help!

I need to know where to begin.what is covered by Mb health surgeries & hidden additional costs

Hello Lauralee I live in Wpg and had open Ryn surgery on March 13, 2008. Through this website I decided on Dr. Nohr out of Medicine Hat, Alberta and asked my family doctor for a referral to him. Manitoba Health paid for my airfare for an appt with Dr. Nohr in May 2007 for a consultation for open RYN surgery (I had to wait from 2004 to 2007 for an appointment). I had surgery in March 2008 and MB Health paid the travel, medical & hospital costs. MB Health will pay the cost of travel but your doctor has to make a request for every visit, etc.... I also saw the surgeon in April and MB Health paid for airfare, medical costs. Hope this helps. Diane G

How are you doing after surgery? Does Mb health restrict the types of surgeries they'll approve? Which one's

Thanks for asking, 2 months post surgery I have lost 40 lbs and 11 inches in the waist/hip area, not too bad. You can read my profile for more info. Sorry, I am not sure which types of surgeries MB Health approves, I never inquired as I was really only interested in the one type. Maybe you can call them and ask? Diane

forgot to add MB Health website, for more info http://www.gov.mb.ca/health/mhsip/oop.html Diane G

Dr just informed I have it what a tongue twister
