"Dr Rashid was very informative and his staff also. He explained the problems with Medicare coverage and my options. He seemed generally concerned for people who needed the surgery and could not get it because of medicare or medicaid coverage, that was very impressive to me. I am now contacting medicare supplimental insurance to see if that will cover additional costs not covered under medicare. If anyone has gone through this and know other ways I can get coverage under medicare, or supplimental insurance to medicare, could you please write me..Linda"
