Well, I wish the US would step up to the plate with medical issues and the current crisis therein…but they won’t until we get a docotr shortage and the situation becomes far too bad to ignore and it’s too late for many people.
Unfortunately it’s all these little rules that the office has and then my insurance provider has that was causing problems. The doctor didn’t write me a sufficient note and I got bounced back and forth between doctors. Even though it was obvious I needed bloodwork soon, nobody could do it because of their rules and my insurance company rules. So even though I wanted to pay for the tests myself and bypass my insurance, I still couldn’t get the test because the slip of pper was insufficient. My insurance requres that i have an original signed notice by the doctor before they will pay for any testing, so I was hoping to at least get the verbal ok by the doctor to the office so I could go outside of insurance to get the tests bu nobody called him…long story short I went home without testing and now that I’m back on blood thinners the tests I’m going to get on thursday will not really be any good since the point was to get them off blood thinners. But at least i finally managed an appointment two weeks after i was supposed to get tested…ugh!
Yeah, it is kind of crap all the hoops you have to jump thru to get the insurance companies to pay for stuff. The reason you pay the insurance companies is to cover you incase something happens. But then again, they do have to cover themselves and try to get rid of the fraud cases out there.
