You need to hire an experienced contract negotiator/provider relations coordinator for your facility. You'll also need someone proficient and certified in ICD-9 and CPT coding, as well as experienced medical claims billers and a billing coordinator.\n\nWhere are you located? What state...each state has some different laws in regard to insurence billing for medical claims. I personally have eight years experience in this field.

The insurance company has what they call "Allowed amounts" or "usual and customary", which is the amount that they will pay on a service. Your copay or percentage/ded is part of that amount. The health care providers who are contracted as In Network Providers sign a contract with the health insurance to become part of the network. Those providers agree to take the allowed amount as payment in full for the services. Any amount they charge that is over that allowed amount is a write off for them. If the providers are not contracted with that insurance company, they can legally bill you for the amount over the allowed amount. The providers who are contracted get the advantage of advertising from the insurance company because they will be listed in your provider booklet or on your insurance company's provider directory on the website. They will get more patients from those searches than if they were not contracted, so the amount they have to write off is not a problem.

Yes, there are several of these out there. Most pharmaceutical companies (the companies that make diabetes medictions, insulin, etc.) offer these. Also, check with your local health department for their resources. \n\nI work for a health district in Virginia and we currently have a billfold insert card from the American Diabetes Association. I would be glad to mail you a few of these if you would be willing to provide me with an address. \n\nMy email address is lindsey_osborne@yahoo.com. Let me know if you are interested. \nGood luck and best wishes...

Since every person is different, they really cannot determine what is "typical". They do this to cover themselves for liability issues. If they are sued and say Jane Doe lost 80 pounds and I didn't then the company can say that they told you this was not typical.  Gimmick diets never work, but even legitimate diets use this wording to cover their liability exposure, which may or may not be upheld in a court of law. Companies and professionals have a much larger set of standards to go by than an uninformed general member of the public.

I am curious as to why you are resistent to seeing a registered dietician? I know that it can be a bit expensive but this IS your health. I have my MSc in Human Health and Nutrition and would very HIGHLY recommend dieticians because they can help you manage your diabetes and have the most reputable cookbooks and resources.\n\nIf that fails, try looking up websites for various diabetes societies and check out their resource pages for cookbook suggestions. Here is a good link to many Diabetes Organizations:\nhttp://www.diabetes.ca/Section_Main/links.asp\n\nOr try Amazon.com for some great cookbooks:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764552309/102-9168389-2086538?v=glance&n=283155\n\nGood luck and take care!

You need to meet with a dietitian. Your insurance should cover it, and you can get your doctor to recommend it if need be. Regular meetings should include meal plans, grocery list, snacks to have on hand, and times to eat them. Get on a tight eating schedule based on the plan you come up with for your needs. This will help your body to adjust and learn to regulate it self. That is important when you blood sugar play such a vital role in how and what you eat. Once you are in a regular schedule, and have given your body time to adjust to it, work with your nutritionist to start adding weight.

It's based on the patient's actual body weight and ideal or target body weight. \n\nThe first link below has excellent step-by-step notes on how to calculate IBW, and then goes on to help formulate a diet. The second also goes into the percentages of fat, carbohydrate and protein.\n\nTo be honest, as a medical resident, we used to just eyeball the person and pick one of the kitchen's standard meals: 1600, 1800 or 2000. Of course, when they were being discharged and seeing the diabetic nurse, they got a more personalized meal plan.

With the advice and counsel of your Accountant, contact various insurance companies who offer health insurance. Then through a face to face meeting design a plan that fits your needs, and your budget.

Not usually, they usually do that AFTER you are diagnosed.  Diabetes can be dx'd with a blood test, but once you have it, they want to check your urine for protein, since diabetics often have kidney issues.

I've tried it.  The $7 weekly (or whatever they advertise) is not all the expense you'll occur.  That's the good part.  The part that will be very expensive is when you buy your food products each week/month from them.  This will certainly run you into the hundreds of dollars.  Also, they do have a plan where you can go out and buy your "own food", but this takes a lot of guesswork and creativity on your part each meal on how much to eat (calorie-wise, fat-wise, carbo-wise, etc.), portion to eat (in conjunction with the above-mentioned "wises"), creativity as far as not having to have the same old meals each day, etc).  The only good thing about buying their foods is that each one is already proportioned as to the amount you will have each meal, so you won't have to count calories, carbs, or anything else; but doing so costs you dearly.  \n\nPlus, having a membership for a year (which most people do that want to lose more than 10 pounds because in the long-run it's cheaper) will cost $100-150 +.  The membership includes all follow-up nutritional visits you may have during this time frame, including weigh-ins, consultations, etc.  \n\nThey do have supplements, but you do have a choice to buy them or not...the place I went to did not "push" the supplements on me....they told me I could buy them (expensive) or I could just wait and see how the initial plan was coming along before deciding to do so.  \n\nSo, you see, that $7 advertisement that have on television is JUST THE BEGINNING.  Get your checkbook out and ready!

They provide training, equipment, management support, marketing support, supply management, and product development.  And sometimes they offer financing and consulting.  But there are no guarantees.  Even franchises can fail.

I would check with the state you live in. For example my state (NY) has a plan called healthy NY for working people that have no insurance at reasonable rates. Go to your state's website to check.
