I'm writing to see if anyone has info on Dr Elariny, He is covered under my health insurance so how does his whole process work as far as billing. I have heard so many different things through posts. I see he charges a program fee in addition to the surgery cost and is this covered by insurance as well. Also I am looking to have a revision from RNY to DS and was just making sure that he does them. If anyone could shed a little info on this for me this would be awesome.

I am not familiar with this office but wanted to let you know that insurance does not cover the program fee for any surgeons office that I am aware of and not all offices do charge this fee.  Good luck!

Im not sure about the insurance questions but I do know he  does the revision from RNY to DS I spoke w/ him at the last OH event in Falls Church and  he said if  Dr Schirmer didnt meet my needs to get him to refer me to his office I go today to Schirmer so we will see. Good luck and  let me know what you find out.
