What a Year This Week Has Been

I  continue to be amazed and nonplussed at the disorder and confusion that everyday life in this world has become - No matter what I try to do - from getting a pizza delivered to paying the light bill to making an appointment with my doctor -- It's like a tv sitcom -- Things that used to take minutes now go on for hours - days - sometimes weeks

On  monday I called my doctor's office for an appointment for my annual checkup - I was told that Dr Gewin was no longer listed as my primary care doctor on my insurance _ So I called the insurance and was told that indeed Dr G was not listed as primary but a doctor I had never heard of who's located about 30 miles from   me - i told the insurance person to please change it back to Dr G  - She said Dr G no longer accepts my insurance - I called Dr G's office back and talked a male-type person and told him what the insurance person had said - He agreed that was right - that my policy isn't accepted by Dr G

I won't continue with the grueling details of this fiasco - Suffice to say that after I went through a couple of days finding a new doctor to list as primary people started calling and emailing with assurance that I was covered to see Dr G - But when I would call his office to verify that I'd be told that no the doc doesn't take my policy - By this morning I was so confused my brain was spinning

But thank goodness I believe the deal has been sorted - maybe! A woman from Dr G's office called and said she understood I have been being given conflicting info - She assured me that all is fine vis-a-vis my insurance and that Dr G is my primary care doc and that I have an appointment for monday afternoon - This was a person that I actually know from years of being treated by Dr G

So I'll be in his office at the appointed date and time and we'll see what happens -

Note: This computer is still acting up - several keys don't work - Other keys work sometimes - Thus the weird punctuation and stuff

Good grief! What an unnecessary kerfuffle that run around at Dr. G's office gave you. They need to have a staff meeting and get their heads on straight before giving patients the wrong information. I'm glad that the woman (long time employee) in the office called to straighten things out and that you now have an appt. Good for you for hanging in there to get to the bottom of things.

Hugs!
