In that short time with Allient I had 3 MOHS and when I got back to NY I had no biopsies and no surgeries in my last two visits. The NY doctor is still in the Plan while Tran and Allient are not in the Plan. Could there be a correlation? Perhaps it is the medical practices doing all the damage and not insurance companies or politicians that it is suggested don’t care about grandkids. Until anyone knows why this practice was dropped, everything posted is pure speculation

I think your point is well taken. I don’t know whether the large number of non melanoma surgeries are “unnecessary” or if the docs are just very conservative. I wish I knew. No doubt some of it is necessary. Maybe not all.
