Anyone heard of Dr. ph Cribbins or a Dr. Hamn. Also considered a Dr. Daryl out of Denton but he wanted to charge us 250.00 paperwork fee and then another 750.00 at final consult for seminar and other books and stuff they give you above what our insurance pays.. Our insurance pays 100% so I feel those charges should be included in the fee charged to the insurance. Anyone else get charged like that when their insurance pays 100%? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Andra that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Doctors make their money and to charge for a seminar is utterly insane. We have doctors at every monthly seminar and they also take it upon themselves to attend our special meetings where we have other guest speakers. Sounds like someone is gouging (SP) the system. Thats the problem with these money hungry doctors now, they forget about the patient and go straight for their own bank accounts. That just infuriates me. Alot of us find it hard to have to come up with the extra money over what the insurance doesn't pay let alone pay for something that shouldn't even be a charge for. You can separate the doctors that care from the ones waving their bank account books everytime! Sheesh I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for the whole lot of that particular kind of doctor. I hope you find a better more caring type of WLS doctor...God Bless Wolfie Leeds, Alabama " Keep It Real & Off the Top " Lap Rny & Choly Dr. Lee Schmitt Medical Center East August 27,2003 349Pre-Op/336/268/200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
