Question:
Has anyone dealt with WA.state DSHS with Premera Blue Cross as the HMO?

I have Wa. State DSHS with Premera Blue Cross as the HOM. I am trying to get approved to have an Open RNY done. My Dr. said it is absolutely necessary. But, I have found the DSHS office to be difficult to talk to. Can anyone give me any advice or suggestions??    — Janae B. (posted on March 14, 2001)

DON'T USE DR.THIRLBY AT ALL HE WON'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING AND THEN WHEN YOUR STAPLE LINE DISRUPTS HE WON'T FIX IT UNLESS YOUR INSURANCE PAYS HIM AGAIN FOR SCREWING UP.
