Anyone see Means/Quinlin at St Margarets?

Just wondering if anyone else is pre op seeing means/quinlin at St. Margarets? My first appt was in January and so far im in my 4th month of supervised dieting with them. Anyone else go to that office? I also had a question about the recent changes to the billing procedures?? I know before you were required to pay $400 out of pocket for surgery but now thats been changed.. i heard we have to pay for our classes instead. Anyone know the real info?

Yes, I am seeing Dr. Quinlin and am going for my 6th weigh-in the beginning of May.   I've heard a lot of great things about him and his partner Dr. Means.

I do know that they changed the policy about the $400 out of pocket.  Abby just told us that we'd probably see it appear somewhere else, but that she didn't know where yet. 

Where in Pgh are you from?  Send me a message if you'd like to talk more!

Good Luck to you both!! Sorry I can't help since I am having my surgery at Magee.

Again, God Bless and I wish you the best from a fellow Burgh guy!!

yes Dr Means was my surgeon and I have been seeing Dr Quinlan for my followup...surgery was 12/2 and i have lost 80 lbs....surgery went very well, I really think these are great guys...good luck, let me know if i can help you  Dan

I also go to St. Margarets.  I will have my fifth weigh in next Monday.  My last weigh in should be May 18th.  I can't answer your question about the fees, but it is good to know of someone else in the program.  What insurance do you have.  I will be happy when the approval process is complete.
