Oxford Insurance

Does anyone here have Oxford Insurance? My friend is trying to find a surgeon in NJ who takes Oxford patients. Thanks, Linda B. (in Philadelphia)

hi Linda check out this link http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/list-insurers.php?State=NJ&alphaPos=O or http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeons+in+new+jersey.html we (hubby and I) use Dr. Matt Kirkland -- awesome doc with a TON of credentials!!! his number is 215-829-3697 his office handled EVERYTHING for us!! we didnt' talk to insurance or anyone else -- staff does it ALL hubby was in actual surgery for 25 minutes for an Open RNY -- and recovery for 4 hours good luck roberta

Try Dr. Jean-Baptiste at the Bariatric Center @ Muhlenberg.They are excellent! and i know a few pts of his with Oxford. (908) 226-4200

Dr. Bertha with Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons is awesome. He did Fred's surgery in June and we have Oxford. We are on the Freedom plan if that helps and there were no problems at all getting approved. She can go to www.advancedlaparoscpicsurgeons.com and that should get her to their website. I can not say enough about them! Hope that helps and best of luck to her and best wishes for you in helping her and your journey.

I am not sure if the link above works but if you copy and paste this one it should work. http://www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com/ Melissa and Fred W.

Thanks so much, everybody! I'm going to forward all of your suggestions to her. She works in NYC and lives in NJ. So far, the insurance co. keeps telling her she has to find a surgeon in NJ (so she can't use mine here in PA) but can't tell her which surgeons are covered by her policy. The surgery will REALLY help her - I can't wait to introduce her to all of you! Thanks again, Linda B.

I have Oxford, where in NJ I can try and help out
