Out of pocket fee's for assistant doctors is bull
I have been looking into the WLS for a long time, My husband finally got good insurance and I wanted to make a appointment with Dr. Capella in New Jersey for the first week of July when my insurance takes affect, but to find out I would need $2,000 for his assistant because he doesnt take my insurance, but I cant afford to do that because I have a out of pocket fee for the hospital of 2500, well I have now looked all morning on just about every web page to find a doctor who takes my insurance and his assistant and found that EVERY doctors assistant doesnt take the same insurances as the head doctor or partner, how odd is that. how well planned are these doctors, I am sure they split the cash, and say they dont cause the insurance pays the other which I'm sure the assistant get a dib of that as well. the doctors that dont take this extra fee are the ones that have high mortaility rates. it sickens me that I want Dr Capella so bad and I have to pay his assistant 2000 to learn what dr. capella would be doing to me. shouldnt it be a law that 2 or more doctors in the same office should have to accept and particapate in the same insurance?, I think so
