.,so my insurance wont pay for my surgery and I am self paying .    I am going through a center of Excellence hosptial for this surgery the doctor I originally had chosen left and the new  Doctor does not  have in place any surgery insurance incase something happens .   not sure what to do at htis point.  I have done all the steps and have saved up almost all of the money ,  have a few thousand to go..  would I be able to go to another doctor at this point and not have to do all of the steps over again?  I am really comfortalbe with this new doctor and he has great references / been doint this a long time and he is one of the few that  does the robotic surgery.    

advice please and thanks

I would call around to other surgery centers and ask. All the notes should be sent to your new provider without a problem. the problem would be if they are outdated or if the new provider wants to do a different test. i dont even know if my surgeon has insurance like that. its never come up before. even if he doesnt have it maybe the hospital does. i guess you have to decide how big of a deal it is for you.

good luck
