Question:
St. Francis Weight loss Center Indianapolis

I just talked with my PCP today and he has givin me a referral to the St. Francis weight Loss Clinic here in indianapolis. Has anyone been there? and if so what kind of procedures do you have to go thru as well as costs? I did contact them and they told me i had to pay 250.00 up front to even see their Dr. to get a referral for a surgeon. Is it possible to get a referral from my PCP for the particular surgeon that i want that is is the network? I have yet to recieve any paperwork from my insurance cmpany. I dont mind going thru the weight loss center, but if i can get to the surgeon thru my pcp that would help tremendously. Thanks for any help anyone can give me :)    — L C.

HI, I really wanted to use St francis since it is close to me. I paid the 250.00 I am not sure if they have a payment plan or not, but what i do know if you can get approval else where they will waive that 250.00. They do have wonderful support.....GOOD LUCK
