I have to admit after meeting Dr. Gunson and reading the feedback from several Arnett/Gunson patients, I feel confident in Gunson's expertise.
My two previous surgeries were with a surgeon in Illinois. They both relapsed due to a combination of poor technique and resorption. So far so good one this one - yesterday was my one year jaw-versary!

Hi double, could you possibly send me an email at cfrance "at" gmail "dot" com ? I'm not authorized to use the pm function yet. I have a question about Anthem Blue Cross. I'd very much appreciate hearing from you.

Wow that is ridiculous. I guess that is why they don't have any surgeons in network. What surgeon would agree to do a complicated surgery for $645? I am still waiting to find out how much my insurance will reimburse me. No one could seem to figure out what the allowed amount was for the procedures I was having done when I called ahead of time so I finally gave up and said I will just wait and see. They will pay 70% of the allowed amount up till my out of pocket maximum and then 100% of the allowed amount after that. I guess depending on their allowed amount it could be a lot of money I get back or not much of anything at all.
