Late last year I contacted Dr. S's office to arrange for an appointment. I have always had ppo and thought it would be a no-brainer. I was told (buy a very snippy male receptionist) that Dr. S doesn't accept any insurance, and that I would have to pay the entire amount (I think it was either $600 or something like that) and then submit it to my insurance company for reimbursement. He was very snooty and implied that Dr. S is somewhat of a celeb and can do business however she wants. I was so put off I never called back.

The snippiness is truly sad to hear about. The price of fame, I suppose. She's not the only doctor who does not want to deal with insurance companies. This is the result of the bureaucratization of our lives. I could write volumes on this, but this is not the place.
