valarltdStupid buracracy. Stupid insurance.
I spent 40 minutes on the phone making an appt. at a clinic I've been going to for 4 years. This is ridiculous. The earliest they can get me in is the 28th. And to add insult to injury, I'm classed as a "New patient." My dr. moved to NC.
This is why it pays to memorize your policy and group number, boys and girls. I rattled them off on the phone, since my wallet was in the van.

The 28th is the first day the dr. is seeing new patients.
I'm not going to fight and risk having to change my clinic.

They're all very keen to push the message of vigilance down your throat but I still had to suffer three months of bureaucratic incompetence while waiting to have a pre-cancerous lesion removed.
