Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I had a good experience I wanted to share. Earlier this year my job changed healthcare to Kaiser HMO , I have been on a waiting list for a PMD, and its time for my routine labs, I was told I now have a PMD and saw her on Wed., I expected a fight to get the labs I needed. I explained my history, WLS etc.... she got a lab slip and checked many items then showed it to ME and said these are the labs I am aware that WLS patients need, are there any other your WLS Doc feels you need? WOW!!!! I had 10 vials of blood drawn today, I had to fast 14 hours, no alcohol for 72 hours etc... She said the Vits take a little extra time to process, come back in 3 weeks and we will go over your labs, give you a complete physical, pap, and breast exam. I was, and still am shocked and VERY pleased. I am glad I am getting this done now. In Jan-03 my job once again is changing healthcare, this time to BC/BS PPO, Just wanted to share.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 I know this isn't the " insurance " list but this is worth mentioning for all of us who FINALLY hook up with a great doctor!!! >>>In Jan-03 my job once again is changing healthcare, this time to BC/BS PPO<<< I've got same/similar insurance and over the years that our insurance has changed we always opt for the PPO and so far, when I'm using a doctor that is not an " in-network " but a good one I don't want to stop using I call the insurance (Regince BC/BS PPO) and tell them I want to keep seeing this doctor because they have my history and so on... the insurance will send you and the doctor a " permission to be treated " letter for X amount of visits that year and the costs will be treated as if they are " in network " even though they aren't. I found how to do this with my therapist who I've had for over 7 years and many insurance changes as well as my PCP... so far I've been given permission for both from all the insurances. If something happens and I need extra visits -- we just call the insurance, tell them why and they give permission for the extra visits. When you find a great doctor like Ann has here -- it is SO worth the phone call, going through the process and getting to keep seeing that doctor. hugz, ~denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
