Not really a question, more of a request for information.

Kind of a long story so I apologize in advance. My local doctor thinks that I am a good candidate for surgery. He sent me to see a surgeon out of state and out of my insurance network. He also says I am a good candidate. But my insurance company wants me to go see a doctor in-network not to get a second opinion but because they say they want me to see the difference in cost between in and out of network. The in network provider is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, my insurance company is MMSI. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them? I really do not mind paying the out of network costs because I am not really a fan of the Mayo clinic because of a previous medical problem that they refused to treat. Could anyone that has had a laproscopic gastric bypass, or a lap-band placed please tell me what the costs were to you, and whether you were in network or out. I am also looking for information on the Mayo Clinic and your experiences with them regarding this surgery, and any info on MMSI. You could also email me at [email protected] if you do not want to post a reply. Thanks for any help that you can give me.
