Given the issue I'm dealing with, I'm more interested in getting it resolved than dealing with debates between insurance, dr, etc. This was the quickest path to getting an ultrasound scheduled, so I complied.
What should have happened is that they should do the ultrasound right there, on the spot. But, the dr's office can't do ultrasounds. That has to go to the imaging department, which had to be scheduled 4 weeks out. Sigh... I won't keep going, but this whole situation is stupid and engineered to extract as much money as possible.
- RHSeeger 6y agoI'm sorry to hear it was so difficult for you. I agree that it seems like every step along the way is there just to add more money (to what they can charge you or, for the insurance, what they can get you to pay instead of them). The long hours on the phone I mentioned are another expression of that (maybe if we keep giving him the runaround, he'll just go away). The fact that you're dealing with said issues just makes you more likely to give up, and they know that. The next time something like this comes up, if you're feeling up to it, try pushing back. If you have the time to throw at it, the worst outcome of trying is usually just staying where you started. At the end of my many hours on multiple phone calls getting everyone to agree to pay for treatment I need... the company in charge of making it called to let me know they've been retasked to making COVID vaccine and won't be making the drug I need for at least 3 months. So no treatment for at least that long. So that's fun.
