Question:
Putting a HOLD on Medicare folks

Well, it is official. I finally got the word today. They are putting my surgery on hold because of Medicare. After keeping me on a dark roller coaster ride for weeks now, I find this out. PLEASE! Are there any doctors in the DALLAS area that are taking MEDICARE and will do the surgery when they promise?    — [Anonymous] (posted on August 16, 2000)

Have you tried another Texas town? Any reservations about using the Hill Country or South Texas? Try Drs. Selinkoff, Pilcher and Reiss of San Antonio. I have not been approved yet, but the office staff assure me that all three doctors accept Medicare patients.
