Question:
I need a PCP in Los Angeles area that help in getting okay from my insurance

Does anyone know of a doctor in the Los Angeles area that will help me get an okay for surgery? I have picked my surgeon, but I do not have serious medical problems that insurances like to see before okay-ing this type of surgery. I do not want my health to get to the point that I am seriously ill before I can be illegible for surgery. I would appreciate any and all help with this problem. I have Blue Cross PPO. Thank you, Eileen Allen    — Jaimee A. (posted on June 24, 2000)

I recommend that you talk to Rick Mark. He is the program manager for Weigh 2 Freedom. He had me approved for surgery in 5 days. I will have my surgery on June 29. Rick has had the surgery and he will help you get through every step. Even through the pre-op. He is in LA. HIs phone # is 213-623-8410 or toll free 888-576-FREE. Linda Goodall

You should contact Dr. Dapo Popoola @ Surgilite, his phone # is 1 800 283-LITE. His office is in Torrance, and his staff is the best. They got me approved in a week. They are fantastic. Good luck.
