Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Hi , my name is Robin and I just received approval I think? through United Health Care with Dr. Rabkin in San Francisc (I have a letter that is doublespeak). I spent several hours on the phone this morning trying to get info out of United to no avail and of course the girl in Rabkin's office is not at work today. So here are my questions: 1. Does a procedure code of 43846 mean I get the surgery or will this code have to be revised to accomodate the BP/DS which I cannot have lap because of previous scar tissue. 2. My United is not aligned with a medical group so I have to pay up front - does anyone know what this fee is? and what does United reimburse exactly (I know they will pay 80% of the fee that they show but will not share $$ fee amount with the patien only the doctort) - so far I am in the dark - and they won't go in network even though Rabkin is the only guy in SF who does. If anyone out there in SF has had experiences regarding this matter with United Health Care - I would really appreciate hearing from you so I know how to proceed with the doctor and the insurance company. Apparently CPHC is covered 100% because it is an in network hospital - only the Doctor and his fees are iffy. Robin/ pre op 235 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
