Question:
Need help with Pacificare in Southern California

I just told my mom about my WLS and surprisingly she has fantasized about it too! Now she needs help with ins info and has no computer knowledge. She is in Pomona, CA. She has Pacificare through her job, LVN nurse who visits homes. Anyone know good PCP? Local Surgeons you might suggest? Any help or comments would be wonderful!    — candylnd24 (posted on June 5, 2003)

Hello: I am in Riverside and had Pacific Care PPO....My PCP was at Corona Family Care and WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!! They (the medical group) turned me down 2 times and I was forced to take DRASTIC measures and was approved my 3d time....I do have to say though that it was the Medical Group NOT Pacific Care that gave me the trouble...Pacific Care was actually VERY HELPFUL....Call Pacific Care and see if they can refer you to a medical group that is pro surgery and are on your side....Pacific Care is very helpful....they are very customer service oriented.....If you have any questions, you can e mail me....I'll try and help all I can.....
