Insurance Woes

Dec 30, 2014

Well I expected to have had my surgery last month but the insurance company denied me. They required a clearance letter from both a cardiologist and a pulmonologist. Turns out my heart doctor sent over every chart and every test he did, minus the clearance letter!! This took a week to get fixed as it appears he only works Wednesdays between 11:26am and 11:39am and you have to catch him in that exact time slot or you will never find him. Then I am off to find a lung specialist for that clearance; find one close to home, his nurse has had Bariatric surgery and we chat wonderfully for 15 minutes. Have a consult date set and ready to go. The next day I get call from them informing me they do not accept my insurance.

The hunt goes on, I find one of my insurances medical provider site. Have my doctor send in a referral get a date for the visit. Then get a call saying "you do not live in our county so we do not accept your insurance." I wish I could make this shit up, I would be rich. So now I am three weeks in to my search for a lung specialism for my clearance letter and not one step closer than I was day 1. I  hope i find one soon I really want to get this new life started.
