Getting my ducks in a row.
Apr 07, 2009
So, today, I took the first step and made calls and asked questions. I recently applied for health insurance again (FidelisCare-Medicaid), since I haven't seen a doctor for over a year. I've had ways of getting my asthma medication, but those resources are running out, and I suspect I have diabetes. Anyways, I applied in Janurary, and am just now getting a Fidelis ID card. It came with numbers and a guidebook, but still no cards. I called and they said it would be here within 5-8 business days, which makes me very happy. While on the phone I asked about getting a new doctor, how referals worked, if I was covered for WLS, and they also showed me how I can find any specialty doctor in my network, through a simple on-site search engine. The lady on the phone was very helpful, and I love my insurance so far. I also called the Medicaid Company, and my Benifet card should arrive shortly. So, turns out I am covered, (Yes!) and that with a simple referal I can start seeing a WLS specialist! Well. I'm going to dissapear for now, but I'll be back with information on my target surgeon. =]
