darn...well, unfortunately found out that even my appointments w/the Wish Center are not covered under my insurance, and i can't afford $1,000 + per appt.. i can change my insurance through my job starting january, but it still wouldn't cover enough. it's been frustrating and depressing, since i have set my mind on this. now i'm looking for something that at least has a comparable follow-up program that my insurance will cover. my new pcp is great, and is willing to help me in any way she can. if anybody knows of a good surgeon here that is covered by AETNA HMO, please let me know!
