Was just wondering if anyone has had the DS with MNma UCare at the U of M? Will they cover the lap DS? if so how long of a process is it taking?

Yes, we have had DS'ers with MN UCare.
Have you been to Dr. I's info session? Where are you at in the process?

My revision to the DS was covered by UCare without a hitch. Mine was open, but I don't think HOW it's done is even discussed with insurance.

Fantastic! You are going to love the DS.

Any questions, just let me know. I'm about 10 miles west of you - so we could always meet up for a coffee or something. We've got another DS'er in Forest Lake, too.
