Yesterday I spent hours on the phone with United Health Care. I don't know about these people. I received a new card in the mail with some Dr. I did not pick and wouldn't go to him if he was the only one around. Had a horrible experience with this man many years ago after he was so flippant with his diagnosis of one of my children which resulted in a 2 week hospital stay and some horrible pain and then being paralyzed. I can' t believe he is still in practice. To make a long story short I am now with out a Dr. since they said the one I went to isn't in there Net Work. great. It will take 4-6 weeks before I can get an apt. for a new Dr. And they had given me a name of a Dr. to call. When I called the scheduler said they have no such Dr. and never did..
After that mess I was mentally drained. After awhile I made 2 chicken breast in Corning ware bowls. 1 I poured salsa over and the other some Italian seasoning and lightly breaded the top and a pot of soup.
I had every intention of shopping today but.... I had to organize the camper as everything had slide down to the door and I wouldn't be able to get any groceries back there. Just as I came into the house my body decided to torture me for some reason. I did do lots of sliding and lifting but I have been working out so I don't understand why that happened. Took some Tylenol and that was it for the rest of the day. I really need t go shopping tomorrow but we shall see.
Haven't gotten to far on the bathroom or boxing up things for donation yet. Hope to get on that tomorrow.
Good Night All
Good luck with a new doctor and hope you ar feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hate all this insurance crap nowadays. And the insurance companies know that old people spend more time with "specialists" then your regular practitioner, so they jack us with those higher co-pays. I like my specialists, BUT. . . .
ReplyDeleteHey hope you don't get blown away this week with the high winds expected and cooler temperatures.
Hi George,
ReplyDeleteThanks I hope nothing goes wrong before I get a Dr. But I am feeling better this morning.
Hi Emily,
I think this ins. has gotten to big for there own good. If this keeps up I will to another company.
Yesterday a whopper of a wind blew through here. When I let the dog out he came running right back I knew he never left the porch so I made him go back but he ran back again, when I looked out the wind had blown the gate closed LOL
Insurance companies are a nightmare to deal with. I would think that in your area you would have more competition and a broader range of doctors to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to go shopping today.
I have a BCBS Medicare Advantage Plan and I'm finding that it's basically a nightmare. I'm trying to change my primary care doctor and there's not many in the network to choose.
ReplyDeleteLots of time on the phone, and I just went through a crying jag myself.
I hope you feel better and get it all worked out.
Hi Ms Belinda,
ReplyDeleteThere are so many Dr. in this town but if they aren't part of the net work your SOL.The there are the calls for some Rosemary that come in everyday sometimes 2 twice. I asked them to fix this problem and they said they can't WTH! Since the calls are a recording there isn't anything they could do about withour her information. They leave a phone # but I still couldn't get anyone on the phone.
Hi Diva,
Yes half the citizens in town are Dr. but you can get one this is insane. I won't cry over just get good and mad and let them have it and change to a new company.
That was just a bad day for sure...I have had so much trouble with my back/hip area I've been delaying many projects and now they can't be delayed any longer so it's do or don't I guess. Hope you make some progress on that to-do list today, if not there is always tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI had thought of changing to an Advantage plan but realized our doctor is not on their plan. Plus I prefer choosing who I go to..... not some bureaucrat. So sticking with original Medicare plus a supplement. Trusting you will get this straightened out soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Sondra,
ReplyDeleteSo many people with back and hip problems right now.
I did go grocery shopping finally. They mentioned rain for tomorrow so I figured I better get going.
Maybe Sunday I will try and find the towels and rugs.
Hi Phyllis,
Im really angry about this I want to go to a Dr. of my choice also not some quack that they picked for me. I refuse to go there.
