I hate doctors, continues

[draggonlaady]

Did not receive a call back yesterday. (as expected)
Called today. She's "on the other line" so I left yet another voice mail.
I also talked to the other people at work...and it seems they've done the same or similar things to both receptionists AND one of the other doctors.
So I called my insurance company and filed a complaint against them--after all, the only reason I went to this clinic in the first place is that they're the only place in town listed as a "preferred provider" for my insurance. I'd be quite happy to drive the 30 miles to the next town up the highway and go to the doctor I used to go to if they'd been on the list. From now on, i probably will anyway, even though it means I have to pay the bill and then hope the insurance pays me back.

It's lucky you're not suffering from anything fatal or degenerative.

When my company has switched insurances, I had one doctor who applied to be a preferred provider on my new insurance. Maybe that is a option.

it is sort of an option, and one i will be calling the clinic i want to go to anyway to ask about. but it's something they have to do, and work out with the insurance company, and according to the woman at the ins. co. i talked to today it can take several months to a year to get all the paperwork done...which seems overkill to me but maybe she was just trying to discourage me from being petty? dunno.
