Dr. Jean-Baptiste

I've been getting the run around from his office, what is going on with Dr. JB?  Has anyone had a surgery with him recently?  I was expecting him to fix my surgery last week but they still have not submitted for insurance approval.  Dragging on from May.  Anyone have any news?

I have no idea what happened but from what I understand Catherine is no longer their, she was on top of everything.      Although Dr, JB did my surgery and I liked him, I had to switch docs a year ago due to problems with my fills, and at that time he did not do fills under fluro.  Good luck..

Jackie  who did you switch to?  Bertha doesn't take my insurance anymore and I need a local doc
thx

Hi,
I switched to Abkin & Bertha, OMG what insurance do you have?  I have an appt on Thursday, I hope they still take BCBS.  I don't know of any other docs, did you have your surgery already?
Thanks,  Jackie

Dr. A & B do take BCBS, that is what I had..  I just spoke to them last week. My problem is they dont take my new plan, I think it is Aetna. I dont recall since I had the choice of two plans and they didnt take either. I am currently without insurance till the 1st  of August since I refused to pay $1,400 (almost) for COBRA.

Even if a Doctor doesn't take your insurance, always ask about how they handle out of network benefits. I hear some Doctors will take what the insurance company gives them, and will not back bill the patient.

Again, each Doctor is different - and I guess is also has to do with how they deal with the different insurance companies out there.

Just a suggestion.

I heard Kathy was gone too and she is a wonderful  and knowledgable woman...She was basically his meal ticket ya see since she left things are going hay wire...I say get a new doctor take your money , records and run...He was full of it before she left and he's worse now that she's gone..

oh great....

i hope i dont have to find a 3rd surgeon in a year and a half....
