Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi everyone, I don't know if this is of any help. When I went to Mayo it was considered out of network, but I had a referral from the neuro, and I guess my primary -- but I'm not too sure about that. All that I can offer is that HMO of NJ/PA had a department called " National Medical Excellence Program " . Every thing at Mayo was a phone call to the nurse in this department, and every test etc was authorized. Maybe other HMO's have something similar. It wasn't something that was advertised about, but we somehow fell under it. hope this helps a little Peace, joe in PA, ACM1, 8mm decompressed 1999 Mayo Clinic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know NY was working with insurance companies at one time trying to define different Neurosurgeons across the US that would qualify as Center of Excellence. I haven't head how that has been going, but hopefully major insurance companies will consider making Chiari a Center of Excellence need.
