Hmmm. Lupine Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM
And most places will not get you in for a month or more. You have to start somewhere.

Should I just go with that then? On the one hand, I'm clearly not going to die tomorrow, since it's already been going on a couple months - on the other hand, it's already been going on a couple months (and is getting worse), so delaying still more seems like a bad idea.

Write down a list of things to ask/say before you make phone calls and print out many copies. That way you can keep track of which office says what, and you won't forget to ask everything you want to ask.

Should I be asking things? I just want to find someone who will take me! (I am limiting it to people covered by my insurance, obviously, but beyond that, it seems like I'd have to see a doctor and know what was needed to actually ask any questions...)

I have a medical costs question too... Lupine - 10/02/2010 03:08:14 PM 978 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 632 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 604 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 605 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 442 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 569 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 573 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 622 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 565 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 568 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 529 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 282 Views
and as far as the frustrating part... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:58:39 AM 404 Views
Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 395 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 582 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 509 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 522 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 580 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 559 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 401 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 584 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 527 Views
Oops, I replied in the wrong place. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:07:15 PM 424 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 556 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 423 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 519 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 569 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 631 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 449 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 393 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 436 Views
no damookster - 10/02/2010 08:40:12 PM 422 Views
I didn't like the example ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:46:24 PM 529 Views
that's why I pay for health insurance *NM* damookster - 10/02/2010 08:58:06 PM 178 Views
So do we? *NM* Legolas - 10/02/2010 09:13:28 PM 275 Views
exactly damookster - 10/02/2010 09:22:14 PM 469 Views
Precisely ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:00:39 PM 394 Views
There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 578 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 631 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 424 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 191 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 552 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 400 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 592 Views
policy info.... damookster - 10/02/2010 04:52:29 PM 515 Views
Thank you! Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:25:42 PM 386 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 493 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 397 Views
In my case... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:53:32 AM 450 Views
*nods* Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:32:44 PM 513 Views
I have no idea regarding insurance smaug - 11/02/2010 10:32:11 AM 540 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 277 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 387 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 396 Views
Well that should be your first step random thoughts - 11/02/2010 04:49:00 PM 452 Views
