Question:
Has anyone ever used the BTC in TX?

I have a consultation this week and was wondering about the facility. Basically it says they specialize in this area, so I wanted to know if it was a suitable place to consider.    — Christy C. (posted on January 23, 2002)

Hi Christy! I have my consult at BTC in Wylie on Tuesday!! I'm nervous but very excited! I think my biggest worry is whether insurance will pay or not! Do you or does anyone else know the total cost at BTC if paying out of pocket?

I had my wls at the BTC in Texas with Dr. Leverton. It has been 8 weeks and I have lost approx. 48lbs. That's 6 lbs. per week and I am very pleased. The BTC was out of network for me, however my maximum out-of-pocket for my insurance is $2000 and the BTC will accept a payment plan. As of yet, I have not received any bills. I believe the care that I received from Dr. Leverton and the staff, while in the hospital was exceptional. I was treated like I was the most important person there! I recommend the BTC very highly. Please feel free to email if you have any other questions. [email protected]

Since I am at the beginning of my journey, I have been researching doctors and making appointments for seminars. I live in Garland, TX, so naturally I called the BTC in Wylie. The first question the man asked me was "What insurance co. do you have?" When I told him Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Jersey, he responded that they don't accept Blue Cross...period. He wasn't very pleasant about it either. Now, I don't know what the deal is because I know that this insurance co. does support this surgery. Maybe he thought I was talking about the Texas branch? Anyway, I've moved on and have a seminar with two doctors, which will be held on May 3rd and May 7th!
