    In network vs. Out of ins. network providers

    On January 8 of this year I had a simple mastectomy - my choice after extensive research.  I just found out that my health insurance has only one in-network prosthetic provider which can only be described as a medical deparatment store.  I don't want to go into that place for my breast prothesis!  I found a little boutique that specializes in mastectomy prosthesis, but they are "out of network" and after speaking with the owner, I found out that my insurance won't take her on because she's "small potatoes".  In other words, the insurance company only deals in volume!  Has anyone out there encoutered this situation, and if so, what were your results?  I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

    Dear DJ

    I would advise you to fight your insurance company with women who are advocates, to kind find them in your hospital or community...Good Luck!
