Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Lenny, Dr Gagner isn't on the Oxford Plan, and Mt Sinai isn't on the Liberty Plan of Oxford. How did you manage approval?

Sinai hospital is also covered (Freedom doesn't have 'approved hospitals', rather they are covered if the participating surgeon uses them). I have Oxford (Freedom) and was fully covered and Dr. G was in network. all the best, TEresa lap ds with gallbladder removal January 25, 2001 four months post-op and still feelin' fab!

I wonder if it is that he isn't accepting any new patients under that plan. Wonder if all the existing patients just are dropped or he still accepts them for a certain amount of time? I definately have to call Daryl! all the best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
