Looking for Minneapolis RE

... one that accepts Patient Choice / Choice Plus insurance, and participates on one of the "major" networks here (Fairview, Park Nicollet, Allina).

Can anyone help me? So far I've only found providers on "Aspen Medical Group" (too small a network to work for me and DH), and in the U of M system. I'm getting frustrated - I usually think I live in a "major metro area," but it has been incredibly difficult to find an RE I can go to!

Thanks!

Tami,

I live in Richmond,Virginia, so I don't really know about Minneapolis, but aside from asking your OB/GYN for a referral you could try two web sites that I know of (I'm not sure about the insurance you probably just have to call) Also try asking friends, co-workers, etc. you may be surprised at how many people have used RE's or know someone who has and can refer you.

www.americaninfertility.org The American Infertility Association

www.socrei.org The Society for Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility

Hope this helps....

Thanks - I've already been to both of those websites, and have only found REs who either don't participate in my insurance, or who are over an hour and a half away.

Anyone know of a good RE - who participates on one of the "major" care systems - here in Minneapolis?

Ok, I'll sound really dumb. What does RE stand for? Some sort of fertility expert I'm guessing.

I live near Minneapolis, and have an aunt who works in the Park Nicollet system. I could ask her if I knew what to ask for.
