In our weekly lecture series on Tuesday nights, we are bringing in the best and the brightest in San Diego to clarify our vision of getting healthy. Here Steve Alper -- MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) teacher shares one of the core concepts of mindfulness.
I received my bills this week. $ 32,000 for the Liberation Procedure. $1200 for MRV. Amazingly, my insurance(Blue Cross) covered all but $5000 of the total. I feel so fortunate that it was largely covered. I have sat on Utilization Review Committees(when I worked at Scripps) and thought the insurance company would deny coverage based on the experimental nature of the procedure. Luckily for me, I was wrong! I guess they just cannot deny need for treatment of blocked blood vessels.
