Need help - 2nd ins. denied me

I have been through 2 insurance companies. Both denied based on written exclusion that we did not know about prior to submission of paper work. I have been trying for a year now to have WLS. Now I am looking into changing jobs for a better ins. plan. Can anyone in the OKC area give me info on a job where the ins. approves WLS? I can do anything. I also am looking into private pay and am comparing surgeon charges. My first choice is Dr. Floyd in OKC (he did my sister and brother-in-law), but if I can find one less expensive in Tulsa, I am not opposed to going there. I live in Shawnee and my mother-in-law lives in Claremore. I have read great things about Dr. Bosquez. Does anyone know what his fees are and can you give me more info on the payment program at Southcrest Hosp? What are the qualifications? I have all my paperwork and am ready to go, I just need the money or a payment plan.

Dr. Bosquez is a good surgeon. The self-pay cost is around $24,000 plus all the pre-op tests which can be quite costly. I have heard some people talk about the H.E.L.P. program but I don't know much about it. I think it is loan program. Call his office and ask for Karen. She will be a lot of help. Dr. B would have been my choice but I found a surgeon in Arkansas that I really like and the self pay cost is only $15,000 there. Good luck to you! ~ * Alice Ann * ~
