Another for UPMC Magee. They listen. They will do whatever you need. And I truly truly recommend them.

So my insurance (BCBS) said UPMC Magee was in network. I think I’ve had such a horrible experiences with UPMC, that I’m so skeptical that it’ll be ok. Like I’m concerned they’ll mess up my billing or not file a claim correctly to my insurance.

I’m honestly not surprised.

I do think it’s YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) depending on your doctor AND insurance.

However- you have a few things going for you.

One- if you get an estimate in writing from your insurance side, then it’s fantastic.

Two- the no surprise act was passed in January of this year. Basically- if they tell you it’s covered at no cost, it’s covered. And if they try to bill you later- it’s covered. There’s a whole website in the PA government that will fight it for you.

I know our situations are different but I just got sterilized. They tried to bill me for anesthesia for my surgery. I’m in the midst of fighting it because you cannot have a surgery without anesthesia. It’s a slam dunk case essentially (according to my auditor). It’s worth the fight to me, and I think you’d be ok!

Yeah, I was on my fathers union insurance where I could go to either AHN or UPMC for years. I’m just partial but from what I’m hearing, it’s UPMC Magee for any endo specialists
