Beware medical insurance fraud (unecessary procedures that don’t help, tests you never hear results from, etc.) They never get preapproval from insurance companies (either that or Paula just totally sucks at her job,) nor do they submit req’d information, which means that all of those plans you made for the date of your procedure need to be completely scrapped when they call you the day before and say they have to reschedule you for next month. If you’re really lucky, after the extra month in pain, you may hear that your insurance company would have never paid for the procedure to begin with. Hope you don’t mind wasting that $ 700 and all of your time and effort for nothing.
I tried to discuss my concerns in a reasonable tone with my doctor, who not only wouldn’t listen to me (a recurring theme throughout,) but totally lost his mind and discharged me. He seemed to consider this a punishment, but since he hasn’t helped much, anyway (and I was tired of him using me for insurance fraud,) I was thrilled to leave. Never would I have guessed that his overblown ego was actually so fragile. He also needs to stop flirting with office staff while patients are waiting (and can hear him.)
I’m now filing complaints with my insurance company and the state insurance commissioner. Fortunately I kept detailed records of everything.
Any doctors who have a financial stake in their treatment centers are NOT going to look out for your best interest. You’re just a walking wallet to them.
