Wellpoint
Dr Rodriguez is not advanced in medical technology. In Oct 2022, I discovered I needed cataract surgery. However, decades ago I had vision corrective surgery so to avoid the use of glasses post cataract I need a lens called LAL. Dr Rodriguez said all he could offer was the basic cataract lens & I would need glasses for near & far distances. He never offered the LAL lens. So I asked questions about this & he said they do not have this lens! What?!! I thought St Luke's Institute was the most technologically advanced group in the area. NO. BTW, the LAL lens was approved back in 2019. I paid my copay yet I received a bill from them for $50. more. I called them to resolve this since they are not able to provide the medical care I need & it's been 3 weeks with no resolution.
