Dear Ann-
I wish the HMOs were more receptive to this surgery. Unfortuntely, Kaiser will not pay anything towards this procedure. You must remain in their hospital system and use their contracted physicians. This is how HMO’s function.
You will need to be a cash patient. Please call my office if we can be of assistance.

I am 42 years old, had one child with C-section due to high blood pressure in 1991, and until recently normal periods with no PMS. Jan. 6, 1999 I had a myomectomy for fibroids. Before the myomectomy I was anemic due to excessively heavy periods and was put on Lupron for 3 months. I was doing great until recently when I felt pain like contractions. Turned out I have an ovarian cyst the size of a baseball which appeared and grew since my Jan 6th surgery! My doctor is hinting at a hysterectomy. The cysts is fluid filled and my CA-125 test is fine so he does not bwelive it is cancerous but is having me do a consult with a gyn-cancer specialist this coming Monday. Doctor is hinting at hysterectomy. I DON’T WANT ONE! My health insurance is Kaiser. So am I stuck bearing the full costs of an FAS if I got one? Help quick with some answers and some guidance. Much appreciated. P.S. Read Dr. Hufnagle’s site before I had the myomectomy and was disappointed to learn that she lost her U.S. medical license. Very happy you are here.
