Medicare
Jan 25, 2007
I want to let everyone know if you are looking into this surgery well good luck because I'm having trouble in finding a hospital and surgen who will accept medicare, you see there is this new goverment bill that is making hospitals have a seal of excellence before they can perfom the surgery on medicare people like me. I finally found one hospital that has the seal close to my home but after spending 300.00 dollars and putting time in going for test after test with several doctors I find out the surgens that do the operation at this hospital are not in my insurance network. So now I think I'm right back to where I started and that is searching for another hospital and starting all over again. I wish these hospital's will work with people better but it seems like if you don't have the money in you're pocket to pay they do not want to help! I guess I will just keep getting bigger and finally die before I find someone who matches all the criteria for medicare. If someone has a answer to my problem please please let me know because my diabetes is running wild and I'm tired of talking the med's for it because it makes me sick at my stoumach. Another thing you need to find out if the hospital will do you at you're weight, some hospitals have a weight limit becasue of the operating table can only hold so much weight..
