Fill Docs in NJ?


My surgeons are having Medicare issues. I have had 2 fills in a year and a half. I need fills!

Anyone know of a fill doc?

Just an update for everyone. I still have not gotten a fill. Seems Morristown hospital is not a "Center of Excellence" so Medicare won't pay for the fills. I asked the staff at my surgeon's what will they do if Medicare won't cover them? How will you take care of me? And she hesitated and said she would call back when they get an answer.

2 months later and I still have not heard back.So here I am with a band that is doing nothing for me. I was banded in March of 05 and have 2 fills.

I think that is awful.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. We do have two providers in NJ. We have one in Millburn, and the other one is in Mount Laurel. Their patient satisfaction feedback ratings are as follows: Millburn - 85%; Mount Laurel - 96.55%. If you are interested in receiving additional information regarding these providers, please contact our Patient Relations Department at 866-345-5872 ext. 3. Good luck with your search.

Hi Julie, Thank you for your info. I will give Mount Laurel a call.

I went for my 2 year check up and the radiology doctor could not believe how open I was, he said it was like a normal stomach and asked me why i don't have fills, and it just made me sad to think I went through this surgery and now...nothing. I'm still unfilled 1 1/2 years later due to my doctor's hospital not taking my insurance for fills, and the staff has not worked anything out for me in regards to the doctor's fees to get fills.
