Northern NJ doc
If you find someone please let me know, I just got a new job and am in the same position.
If I cant find anyone I am thinking about just paying for my office visit out of pocket, I don't think it can be more than $150 for the annual visit. My other thought is going to my PCP and getting my labs done thru her.
Any advice anyone?

Maybe this link will help

It lists all NJ Bariatric Surgeons. If you click their link, and then click their insurers tab you can get an idea who accepts what. But (as with ALS) some information may be out of date - so you'll probably have to call the office just to be safe.

Another suggestion ... 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.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Hi,
I had my surgery with Dr. Gritsus. He has two offices, on in Pequanack and one in Paramus and he does his surgeries out of Chilton or Valley Hospital. At the time I had Aetna QPOS and it covered everything through him except the normal co-pays and paid every penny to the hospital. I now have Aetna PPO and I'm still covered.
Any questions, feel free to pm me.
