Do not trust that they will honor your private insurance company's medical fee schedule allowance as full payment unless you have it in writing by the doctor prior to surgery. Do not trust the HAA business office.

The physicans are professional and honorable. The Insurance/Business Office is not.

Prior to accepting Dr. Cohn or Dr. Nagy to your surgeon's operating "team", REQUIRE that Harlingen Anethesia Associates provide IN WRITING that they will accept your private insurance's medical fee schedule allowance as full payment (unless you are independenty wealthy and it doesn't matter). Verbal agreements are honored by other healthcare professionals in the RGV, but according to Irma Leal, Insurance Rep for Harlingen Anesthesia Associates, HAA does NOT. Do not subject yourself to these abuses and stress. I recommend you tell your surgeon to assign another capable anesthesia group with more honorable business practices.
