Torrance Hospital IPA??

Anyone use Torrance Hospital IPA?  Just curious to know if this IPA is good about approving surgery or not????????????

Good Morning Cordova,

I currently have that insurance, I also live in Hawthorne lol.  I just go approved for surgery on 9/17/2009. They are very quick with responding and approving wls.

Awesome!!!  Congrats on getting a date.  That is definately GREAT news!!  Who is your primary doctor if you do not mind me asking and how was he/she on giving you the referral?

Richard keech his office is on lomita in torrance.

Thanks So much!  Good info to know!

Thanks Linda!!  I appreciate it!  I hope this works! : )

I live in Torrance, and I have this IPA...I love everything about them.  I'm 4 1/2 weeks. I had some serious issues that made me wonder if they would approve me, but they did. I had to be approved by them in addition to being approved by insurance, and Blue Cross approved me before they did, and I was a little nervous, but it worked out well.

You'll be just fine...good luck.

Thanks so much!  I heard thought that it is easier to be approved for the gastric over the lap-band???

Well, I was appoved for lap, with a possible open, but I can't imagine it mattering really.
