Opinion, PAP Sculptra

[Guest guest]

I've received the application, I do qualify. My Oncologist/HIV doctor

has arranged for a local doctor here who has successfully worked with

Sculptra to do my work, gratis, just with my Medicaid. Which is

astounding. The physician's fee was what I worried about most of

all...specialists are not cheap, I know I don't have to tell you all

that. But I knew I qualified for the Sculptra product.

My Oncologist/HIV doctor suggested that I fill out the application as

completely as I could, COMPLETELY. There are just a few fields I

cannot fill in (ie DEA number, Sculptra Facility #, etc). He says

since this specialist has agreed to do my work without charging me his

regular fee, I need to make it as simple as I can for the office to

fill out what is left on the application, in other words make it as

easy as I possibly can for them so they don't have to put any effort

into it.

My appointment isn't until the latter part of September, but I have

everything in the application ready to go...including proof of income

from SS, signatures, etc. The envelope is addressed and stamped, ready

to go.

I'd like to get the process going, and not wait until my first visit

to sit and just " talk " with him, although its going to talk a while

for the PAP to kick in, I realize, but the time frame would be shorter

if I started now. I'd like to drop it by the office and have them fill

out his part and send it off.

Does that sound pushy. I really don't want to upset the apple cart on

anything. Should I just lay back and wait for my appointment to hand

him the application, or drop it by the office and have them complete

what I cannot complete, and send it off?
