Title: Microsurgery at Stanford
Post by: miparent on March 19, 2013, 09:31:29 pm

Hello.  I'm a newbie and deep in the decision making process.  I thought I was making progress but just found out that HEI doesn't take my insurance.  I'm not sure I have the drive to fight with my insurance company to try to get a waiver and then fight with HEI to avoid having them "balance bill" me even if I could get a waiver.  So.....  My question is has anyone had the surgery done at Stanford?  Not the CK.  If I can't go to HEI if I opt for surgery then I want to go to the best place there is.  But I am in a quandary.  Thanks for your suggestions!

Where do you live?       That can make a difference on what is close to you.     There are many across the country with good drs with good amt of experience.      Someone here might be able to give more info on how to appeal.           I did not go to HEI so don't have ins info on them.

Thanks.  I live in the Sacramento, CA, area.  I'm thinking of Stanford if anyone can give me some info about surgery options there?  I'm not yet decided on surgery vs. radiosurgery.
