My husband lives in Udine, Italy. He needs to use my insurance there until he comes to states. Please help us find a doctor. Thank you so much. God Bless You !\n                               Sincerely,\n                          Love_Prince_Leo@yahoo.com

If you are in the states, you should call your health care service and find out.  Even with Blue Cross, there are tiers of service depending on your contract (or your employer's contract).  You need to find out from them directly.  Good luck!

Yes, it is really sad that one of the wealthiest nations in the world does not supply health care for it's residents.  Write your congressman.  Talk to your representative.  If enough people make noise, they'll have no choice but to hear us!

Dr. Todd Anhalt\n\nhere is his info:\n\nhttp://www.elcaminohospital.org/1122.cfm\n\ngood doctor.  vaguely recall seeing a change of address for him recently so may require some research to get his current contact info.\n\nhe came strongly recommended by dr. richard lee, a great general practioner in palo alto.

If you need an individual or family policy, you have a bunch of choices depending on where you live. Most PPO plans are going to part of large networks with a wide choice of doctors. You can do a check on ehealthinsurance.com, put in some info and see plans and pricing for your coverage needs. But just since I hate them, avoid Aetna.

Yes phone book and do some doctor searching, internet can work also. Call your doctor and ask for refferals I am sure he can find someone for you,how come you can't change them yourself or have someone in your family or a friend help??? It'd save you some money too!!

I dont have any real answers for you.  I live in Illinois and it is the same way.  You might try talking to the doctors and hospital.  Many of them have programs to help those of us with no insurance.  You might also look into state and federal programs for your particilar illness.  Best wishes to you.

I think it depends on your health isurance.  If your insurance says you have to have a referral to a specialist then you need to go to the family doctor first.  If not, then I would go to an Orthaepedic doctor.  Ask around for a good one, try friends, or family.  Another good source would be someone who works quite closely with them.  For instance, I am an x-ray tech.  I have on many occasions reccommended a good orthaepedic doctor.  Tell your family doc to take an x-ray, you will kill two birds with one stone.  One, you'll find out if you could possibly have any arthritis or joint space narrowing and secondly, you'll be able to ask the tech.  Most of us are happy to spread the news of a good doc.  Unfortunately, there are several bad ones.  Be careful and good luck!!

I assume your doctor is still looking into it, rather than just giving you an E.E.G. and sending you home...\n\nSeizures are serious, and have many, many different causes. If one doctor isn't doing enough to satisfy your needs, never be too polite to go to one who will. A second opinion is your right, always.

If i were you I would call the hospital and talk to someone in patient accounts. i had a friend who was told they had a brain anurism (sp?) and they shipped him to another hospital etc etc and racked up alot of bills and the wife called and ended up they didnt have to pay it. Chances are you will have to pay for the first one though, it was part of your treatment.

First I want to say sorry I know what its like fighting with the insurance companies, Its heart breaking and stupid they would rather watch you die than see you well and happy I have done so much research on the lap band and know its the right thing, and your not having your guts torn apart like that other surgery. I am going to have the surgery on the 8th of Dec. Now you might call me crazy but as I said I have done my research but im going to Mexico to have it done its $8,000.00 and that includes everything hotel fills for the rest of your life but not the air fair (thank god I live in Arizona I can drive) It is safe!!! most people that come back to the US only have a few things to say!! It was great!! and Shame on the US hospitals and the insurance companies they were treated better there than any US hospital and they never added anymore to the cost for anything. If you would like to know more I would be glad to share or help point you in some of the research I have done. Just don't let this frustrate you into not going for the goals you  have...Good luck  Wantabe goingtabe bandster  bgaroo@yahoo.com

You can contact the medical associations in all English speaking countries. They are usually quite helpful. Best of luck in your search.

It takes something pretty serious to keep you from passing the screening. I'm seriously anemic and they still approved me to come here. I think a lot of it has to do with where your going. Our hospital here in Naples doesn't even have a Intensive Care Unit, I think it's a forty something bed hospital, so anybody with anything that is too bad, they wouldn't send somewhere like this. My biggest problem for the overseas screening was the dental. I actually had to have a lot of work done on my mouth! But that kind worked out for the best for me....I got braces and the Military is paying for them one hundred percent because I live overseas! I'm seen on base here for both medical and dental.As a dependent ( My husband is the active duty member ) over the age of 19, our dental insurance through the military in the States wouldn't cover anything for braces. And remember that when you go in for your screening, you'll see a military dentist for your dental screening, but if you have anything they want fixed before you go ( Wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, etc... ) they'll make you go to a civilian dentist to have it done, so you'll hav to pay whatever the insurance doesn't.

Try using your health insurance.  call the number on the back of the card, or use the provider directory.  also, are you sure you're spelling his first name right?  Garome?  Or Jerome?
