I know someone who had surgery in Nov through medicaid. I do know that my surgeon told me that some insurers were not going to continue coverage. But if your PCP does a letter of necessity you can dispute their choice if they deny you.

She submitted mine the next day, but the insurance company kept saying that had not received it. She ending up sending it in 3 times. Once they confirmed they received it, I was approved the same day.

FYI: I paid on a Tuesday and she told me she submits to insurance on Wednesdays and Friday. So, if she did not do it yesterday, she will do it tomorrow. Don't be afraid to call and ask. I talked to her damn near every day. Every time I have a question I call, and she is always willing to answer.

Hi Jennifer, I honestly did not ask him. I was prepared to do it, but when we started talking he put me right at ease, he had done that in the seminar and then he did it again. I forgot to ask, I don't know how that happened, but I forgot.

My husband was like how the hell do you forget to ask a question like that? I guess the real answer is, once I talked to him on a one on one basis, I knew for sure he was the surgeon for me.

Sounds great.  If we need to use my house that would be fine..let me know

Did you end up asking him what the malpractice was for? I was researching it tonight on line and came across your post about it. I am really interested to know what it was about and how he took the questioning about it. I am still more than confident in my decision to go with Macik just interested to know. The office will be submitting my paperwork to my insurance tomorrow and I am so excited to get an answer!
