Well Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 04:10:12 PM


That leaves me with a long list of names at the local hospital, which has family clinics and things like that. It's a really good hospital, so I think most local doctors tend to want to work there? But Sareitha said not to go that route...

(Unfortunately, I don't really know anyone I can ask for a referral because all my friends in town are uni students and would simply go to the uni clinic.)


Most doctors are going to also work with the hospitals (and probably have other outside offices too). If the names are on your provider list and happen to be listed as associated with the hospital, that's fine. I just meant you didn't need to go to the hospital specifically to find a doctor just because of the kind of care you think you need. But finding a GP who also happens to be associated with the hospital is fine (most of them will be anyway, particularly when they're part of your insurance network) :)
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

I have a medical costs question too... Lupine - 10/02/2010 03:08:14 PM 945 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 599 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 570 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 572 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 410 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 532 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 537 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 586 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 532 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 534 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 497 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 262 Views
and as far as the frustrating part... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:58:39 AM 371 Views
Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 367 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 549 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 474 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 487 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 538 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 524 Views
It was funny, because most of them were medical-ish, but I got a bariatric center, a therapist... Lupine - 11/02/2010 02:25:03 PM 371 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 554 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 495 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 520 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 396 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 486 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 533 Views
I don't think he's mischaracterizing anything so much as responding to Jens' point directly. Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 04:54:55 PM 595 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 413 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 362 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 404 Views

There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 545 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 601 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 390 Views
Have you never looked at the boatloads of information that your insurer has surely sent to you? *NM* LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:19:09 PM 171 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 519 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 368 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 559 Views

I believe, although I no longer am covered by Blue Cross, that most tests are covered. Ghavrel - 10/02/2010 11:28:34 PM 458 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 365 Views

Yes, and just in general, it's good to have a GP. But they are elusive creatures. Like unicorns. *NM* Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:33:24 PM 257 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 357 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 364 Views
