Is there anybody else that gets their fills at True Results? I was checking my insurance claims and realized that everytime I've gone to get a fill, I'm charged $250 for the office visit and $600 for the fill. I couldn't believe it. I'm assuming it's because they're using the x-ray machine each time they give me a fill. Does anybody else that goes to True Results have the same charges. My insurance covered it but it looks like I might have to pay some out of pocket.

In san Antonio and I only went to true results for consult left there and very happy i got my surgery somewhere else. All bandsters keep looking in your area and call around if the plsce is legit they will give you pricing for a fill with and without insurance to the girl that travels from out of town I recommend dr segers office in San Antonio their staff is awesome and helpful.

I too went through TR in Phoenix. I had my first fill two weeks ago and then another yesterday. I got a claim saying that I will have to pay $850 out of pocket for the fill from two weeks ago. That doesn't even include the fill from yesterday. I'm calling ASAP in the morning. No way am I paying that. No way in hell. I will fight it.

I am so blessed. I went thru true resluts in Hurst Texas but my doctor is Dr. Carter in Arlington. He is amazing and has great bed side manner. He has always done my fills under fluro and anytime i need to see him for anything he makes time for me. I am self pay so my fills are covered for the first year. In my opinion its not true resluts that is the scam its the insurance companies. They are the ones that want to make more money and bill your employer and end you more money for care. I beleive that true results can justify charging more to the insurace becasue of all the hoops the doctors have to go through to provide basic follow up care and as a self pay this was the most important thing to. As far as fills go my co worker who decided to user our company insurance for her LB surgery was billed an extra 6,000 by the insuracne and cant afford to see her doctor for follow ups or fills now ( she did not go thru true results). I saw a billboard for Barker Bariatrics her in Dallas they do $50 fills once a month on saturdays she went a few weeks ago and says she had a good experince. They dont do fills under fluro so which i like but it is cost effective and works if you cant see your surgeon . Maybe look around on the internet to see if you can find companies like this in your area i am almost posititve they have services like this in Houston my sister in law had LBS 4 years ago in Mexico and gets fills for this price in Houston i will ask and post what i find out. Good luck.

Kent: if you still have not found a doctor, which by now I'm sure you have. I live in south Houston. While my surgeon was contracted through true results, he is great, and I highly recommend him. I don't deal with true results, I just drove the extra distance and I feel like I'm being cared for in a much more professional manner. His name is Dr. Richard Wilkenfeld, he is in Conroe off of 242. They do barium swallows with each fill. He is great!

Hey, AshleyNicole25, I go to the one in Richardson, too. My doctor was Dr. Fox. I was banded on 8/31. I've been happy so far.

For everyone that stated true results over charged their insurance, please understand that there is difference between "billed" charges and a "negotiated" rate. Meaning true results may bill for any amount, but your carrier will only pay what has been negotiated . For example true results bills $32,000 but their negotiated rate with your insurance carrier is $ 8,000.....they are only going to receive the

$ 8,000 and can not balance bill the patient.

The reason why my fills were more is because there is a new doctor in the office not certified by Aetna yet. They are clearing all of the bills until he is certified.
