I just noticed a post of yours and saw that you were from Bridge City. I live in Lumberton. I was going to use Dr. Speigel but switched to Dr. Spivak in Baytown. I'm getting ready to re-submit my claim. I was denied with Dr. Speigel. I liked him and all but I don;t think he was complying with my insurance. They were asking for additional information and weren't getting it. I have found out from the insurance what they need and have almost all of it to send in. Do you know of any local support groups around here? I'm supossed to go to one in Houston this Saturday but I'm sick right now and going to the doctor today. I will have to wait to see how I feel by the weekend. If you want to e-mail me sometimes you can. My e-mail address is falbc@lit.edu. That is my e-mail address at work. It's nice to see some local bandsters. I can't wait to join all the other bandsters.

I don't know any support groups around here. I have heard good things about Dr. Spivak. Have you followed up with Dr. Speigel's office staff? I really like the Dr and the staff. My first Dr's appt was August 1 and I had the surgery on August 20. Keep in touch with me and keep me updated on your process. Good Luck!

I sent the paperwork to Dr. Spivak's office today for them to re-submit. I hope it works this time. If not I will switch insurance to one that I know will cover it.
