My husband and I will be moving to the Asheville metro area this fall (Sept time frame). We have been looking at property online and will hit the ground in late June to start the visual check of possible properties.
We are both DS'er's...his surgery was in Dec 2010, mine 5 weeks later in Jan 2011. Both of us have reached goal weight. (both of us are lightweights).
One thing we know we will need is a knowledgeable OR TRAINABLE PCP to help with labs. But until we know which county and which insurance, we don't know who will be in network.
But I just wanted to step in the door and say hi!

The food you love and turn to may not hurt you at that moment, but it will in the long run.

I won 1st place in a karaoke contest, and 1st prize was $100.

awesome.........
You are on a roll. We I got some sad news today......though i'm approved....I can't have surgery at Wesley long due to some bill from 2007......I have been researching it all day...apparently nothing was billed incorrectly.....so i'm on it....
Though the bill is in collections it's doesn't matter...make sure you have all past due bills paid in the Moses Cone system period.
Good news is that i may have a surgeon at duke who will take me and they are in network.
once i make my payment ( 150.00 deductible, and 450 out of pocket i will have one ) can't wait to pay it on Friday or Monday
that's awesome you don't have a deductible
i called welsey long to have them research my out of pocket with them......
My insurance covered both the NUT visit and psy visit with a copay. Just depends on your coverage.....my insurance the first time covered the psy but not the NUt and I had to pay 125.00 but that was back in 2007.
Oh yeah, if you get Dr Lurery for PSy visit...he is really nice....a little weird, but he knows his stuff.
If I would have used my insurance through my job it would be much more...said considering I work for an insurance company.
I just got a call from my insurance caseworker with BCBSMO and I am approved for my revision surgery.
I'm excited.
Carol faxed my info over last Thursday, the insurance caseworker called telling me i needed to provide 3 additional months of weightloss history and Carol faxed that over today around 10 am....15 min ago I got a call and I'm approved.
