help!in the past few weeks i have been given 2 entirely different

stories from the joint replacement inst. in l.a.,who say my blue

cross ins. will pay nothing for resurfacing to dr stacinew/s office

in ill. who say that the surgery is a covered benefit because they

use a different billing code than l.a..i called l.a. and the

director told me that ill. was not really using the correct billing

code and that if the surgery were reviewed that i coul be held

resposible for the whole bill of $38000 stachinew's office claims

they/ve never had a problem and t..hat the code they use to bill

with was recomended by the american orthopedic society help!
