Pacificare Question on Dr. Floyd

Does anyone know if Edmond Hospital with Dr. Floyd is now on the list of accepted hospitals? I'm looking into surgery with him and wanted to know first. Thanks.JUDY

Yes, Edmond Hospital now accepts Pacificare. I was at the seminar on Tuesday evening, and I asked Kenny from Dr. Floyd's office. He said that as of July 1st, Edmond Hospital will be taking Pacificare. I am on the telephone with Pacificare HMO right now, and this is not good news. . . They do not show Pacificare on their list at all. However, they did say that Dr. Floyd can get the hospital authorized for the surgery. I'm not too sure how that works. ??????

I was told back in January that Dr. Floyd would be able to get Edmond approved with Pacificare, and got a constent run around from Kenny @ Dr. Floyd's office saying that they were trying to get Pacificare to approve Edmond. I didn't have a good experience with any of the people at Dr. Floyd's office... Once I switched surgeons, I had my surgery approved and performed within 3 weeks... I don't have anything good to say about Dr. Floyd or his office staff. Lori Lap RnY 3/30/04 Dr. R Cullen Thomas Jr. - Mercy Hospital -92#

I think we all have our good and bad experiences. I wouldn't have had anyone else but Dr Floyd. However, you don't want to know how rude Vicki at Dr Jett's office was to me, or how Dr Hall's (in lubbock Tx) staff was SO nice, until I decided to stay home and have Dr Floyd do my surgery. They weren't so nice after that. I have never had anything but a positive experience with Dr Floyd and his staff. I think it all boils down to a personal decision.

Wow, Lori. . . I"m so sorry you had such a bad experience. I felt the SAME way when I was trying to get a psychologist to return my phone call about the psych eval. I was frustrated and irritated. My experience has been different. Kenny has been very eager to help and things are moving right along. I met Kenny at the weight loss seminar and not only did he remember my name, BUT he also remembered that my dogs had gotten out of my yard when I was talking with him! LOL Talk about personalized service! ;) I guess it all boils down to the day. Sometimes, we all just have bad days. Candy, I share your opinion. I am very excited about how fast things are moving.

Oh, one more thing about pacificare and Edmond Hospital. . . Edmond hospital has done four of Dr. Floyd's pacificare patients since July 1. They are taking the insurance with no problems.
