Looking For A Fill Dr. In Houston Area

Looking for someone who does fills in the Houston area that will accept UHC... I Had an appointment to see him tomorrow, but a nurse called and said it will cost $100 for a fill? Now I don't know what the going rate is but this sounds expensive to me especially since I have been paying $10 a fill. Any info will help.

Chris, I'm in the same boat as you. I have UHC, but Spiegel is no longer in network, so for out of network, ins only pays 80% and I have to pay 20%, instead of the $20 copay.

Does anyone know if there is another fill dr who takes other dr's patients and who have UHC insurance?

Dr Clifton Thomas Obesity Surgery Specialist. We are the only mom and daughter banded by him. He is great and very cute.

$100 is cheap.

I live in Houston. I used to go to Dallas and pay $350 for fills then those docs stopped accepting the patients of Mexican docs.

Now I go back to Acuna, Mexico and get my band doc to fill me for $50. The whole weekend trip always costs less than $300.

Good luck!
