Unless something has changed (would always confirm with the doctor's office), Dr. Redwine did not take medical insurance last May. I recall someone saying that Dr. Lyons took Blue Cross, but that would need to be confirmed as well. I don't know about Dr. Albee.

I did have a plan that covered 80% to see any doctor outside of plan in 1998. PPO plans might help a little. Last May, I paid for all costs. Money was a huge issue for me, but I am okay with this hole in my shoe and my Politically Incorrect Car. :-) It is a very difficult choice.

I blame the insurance companies. ***Everyone should have access to the same expert care***! To think that these few and brilliant surgeons would be paid by insurance companies the same as a doc who doesn't have much knowledge on endo and complications is wrong. HMO plans saying that all endo patients can get the same care with ob/gyn's on their list are full of it. I think there needs to be a new classification of Endo Specialists (hear it's in the works).

Okay...of my bandwagon. Thanks for bringing the issue up.

I saw Dr.  David Redwine on the West coast.  Dr.  Albee is in Atlanta,
Dr.  Reich in PA, NY...Let me know if you would like websites.  It's
been 2 yrs.  The lining grew back and is now normal tissue.  But, I
still have adhesions and they do cause pain.
