Mine was a little as well. nossy Send a noteboard - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM
It was frustrating and made me tired. I went back to bed and had a dream about successfully getting an appointment. :P

Can I giggle w/o making you angry?:P

True, this is a good thing to remember. And fortunately I think it's easier for me to speak up about money (if I don't, puppy doesn't get fed) than most other things. ;) Telling them all the symptoms... ugh.

Write it down! Seriously, everything you notice. I always forget something when I'm in there, because even though I don't feel nervous, I act like a moron during most doc appointments. I hardly say anything. I think I feel as though I'm bothering them and they are going to think I'm stupid. So anyway, make a list and hand it over. If it makes you feel better, just say that you really don't know what's an issue and what's not, but you thought they'd want all the (possible) aberrations you've noticed.

I have a medical costs question too... Lupine - 10/02/2010 03:08:14 PM 788 Views
If you look at your policy Sareitha Sedai - 10/02/2010 03:27:15 PM 446 Views
I'm all for being a control freak when I can. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:07:37 PM 404 Views
One other thing you should be aware of Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:25:07 PM 412 Views
Yes... that's very useful information. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:46:17 PM 243 Views
I was afraid of that Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:52:49 PM 368 Views
You might want to call your insurer and talk to them about who to see. Joel - 10/02/2010 03:34:53 PM 370 Views
Do you think an actual person would have better referrals than the website? Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:14:01 PM 417 Views
I do, and sorry for the delay. Joel - 15/02/2010 02:11:55 PM 405 Views
I don't think we'll be able to do you much good. nossy - 10/02/2010 03:36:57 PM 389 Views
For CU, that list seems to be really outdated. Lupine - 11/02/2010 12:13:06 AM 352 Views
I didn't read all the replies before I posted mine.Woops. *NM* Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:54:59 AM 205 Views
and as far as the frustrating part... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:58:39 AM 234 Views
Hmmm. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:17:50 PM 227 Views
Most doctor's offices Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:32:55 PM 396 Views
But it's embarrassing. <whine> Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:50:40 PM 352 Views
I'm sure Sareitha Sedai - 11/02/2010 03:58:29 PM 352 Views
Sareitha pretty much covered it! Avendesora - 11/02/2010 04:53:25 PM 397 Views
Mine was a little as well. nossy - 11/02/2010 12:46:45 PM 380 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 229 Views
I just know a worried person should not pay a damn cent... ironclad - 10/02/2010 03:53:19 PM 421 Views
This is frustrating. (Meant as reply to main thread/everyone.) Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:05:57 PM 374 Views
Oops, I replied in the wrong place. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:07:15 PM 251 Views

Why? Should I not have to think about how to pay for my dinner tonight? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:23:31 PM 363 Views
The Dole or hardship funds should help people who can't afford food Mark - 10/02/2010 04:28:49 PM 268 Views
I agree, the needy should be helped. LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:32:45 PM 351 Views
I don't agree with your characterization of commonly proposed healthcare solutions. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:42:06 PM 399 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 458 Views
<3 damookster - 10/02/2010 05:06:29 PM 268 Views
As a response to Jens' point, it works, but he used very general language. Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 07:37:20 PM 231 Views
Furnace? Health? Erm... ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:04:03 PM 254 Views
no damookster - 10/02/2010 08:40:12 PM 243 Views
I didn't like the example ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:46:24 PM 360 Views
that's why I pay for health insurance *NM* damookster - 10/02/2010 08:58:06 PM 105 Views
So do we? *NM* Legolas - 10/02/2010 09:13:28 PM 197 Views
exactly damookster - 10/02/2010 09:22:14 PM 291 Views
Precisely ironclad - 10/02/2010 08:00:39 PM 229 Views
There are several good reasons for that. Legolas - 10/02/2010 04:48:59 PM 385 Views
I see no problem with the state paying the vast majority of medical costs Mark - 10/02/2010 04:53:57 PM 454 Views
I understand you're not being serious, but... Dreaded Anomaly - 10/02/2010 04:37:12 PM 253 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 102 Views
I've never been sent a thing from them... Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:28:57 PM 386 Views
Do you or your parents hold the policy? LiterateDog - 10/02/2010 04:35:00 PM 237 Views
My parents do. Lupine - 10/02/2010 04:44:29 PM 420 Views
policy info.... damookster - 10/02/2010 04:52:29 PM 347 Views
Thank you! Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:25:42 PM 223 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 313 Views
My experience with them has been generally positive too. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:27:50 PM 228 Views
In my case... Avendesora - 11/02/2010 01:53:32 AM 253 Views
*nods* Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:32:44 PM 339 Views
I have no idea regarding insurance smaug - 11/02/2010 10:32:11 AM 379 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 198 Views
Your doctor's office should be able to answer most questions for you random thoughts - 11/02/2010 02:36:10 PM 219 Views
Once I get one. Lupine - 11/02/2010 03:36:19 PM 233 Views
Well that should be your first step random thoughts - 11/02/2010 04:49:00 PM 282 Views
