The reason I ask is,

I am from Long Island and my Surgeon is almost near Manahattan and I live out east. Its a pain to go all the way out there - is it possible to find a closer place to get a fill or do i have to go to MY surgeon?

Also, do any insurance companies cover a fill?

Can you give me some examples of how much fills cost if they dont cover it?

thanks!!!

Dr. Holover has an office in LI as well as Manhattan, he is there on Wednesdays!

Oh & insurance companies vary on fill coverage. HIP now covers all fills, they apparently din't just 2 years ago. It is $250 for a fill at Holovers office.......my friends insurance doesn't cover it so that is how I know.

thanks Carol, I do go to his New Hyde Park office but I live all the way in Patchogue. I was hoping i wouldnt have to go all the way out there so frequently because i would need to take time off from work...i would rather only have to leave an hour early or so...Doesnt Dr. Garber have an office in Port Jeff?

$250.00 is absolutely ridiculous!!!

Yes, he has Port Jeff too. Not sure if Holover is at the office too or not but worth an ask. I live in Queens so frankly all the offices are equally inconvienent lol!

What insurance do you have? If you don't mind me asking

LOL the thnigs we go through for health and beauty!!!

My insurance is great. I have Highmark BC/BS and not only did they pay 100% of my surgery, but they pay 100% of my fills as well. I still go to my surgeon once a month and when I get a fill, my insurance considers it a surgical procedure.....of which they pay 100%, no copay. If I don't get a fill, I pay a $35 copay for an office visit with a specialist. Good luck to you on your journey!!!
