Something
Stinks Here!
In
my last journal entry
(https://alostwifesjourney.blogspot.com/2019/03/last-week-you-ask.html
)
I mentioned that the Oncologist ordered a full body CT scan and a
brain MRI on my Husband, to be done on an URGENT
basis. What I didn't mention was that the Oncologist said it should
be approved immediately by the insurance, and done within a week at
the longest, and he set an appointment to discuss the results on
Monday, April 1st.
I
have been in contact with his Secretary daily to find out whether or
not the insurance had approved it yet, so imagine my surprise waking
up Tuesday (yesterday) morning, and finding out that the URGENT
CT scan and MRI was approved, and that the Radiology department
scheduled it for April 9th! My Only thought was:
URGENT???!!!
Really???!!! BULLSHIT!!!
Shortly
after getting that information from my Husband, the Oncologist's
Secretary called me to let me know it had been approved. When I told
her when it was scheduled, she was speechless! My Husband
decided to keep the appointment so the Oncologist can fill out
paperwork for Social Security, because it has a due date, but this
delay in testing is adding to my stress levels. I mean, yes, I
realize that I'm the only one that it matters to besides my Husband
(and presumably, the Oncologist), but still... Is this how bad it's
gotten, that URGENT means 3 weeks and one day (22 days) after
being ordered? I'm really lost on this one (as if I wasn't already
lost!)
I
don't know if the Oncologist can get it done sooner, but I'm hoping
he can do something, because I don't think my heart can
take the pressure.
This
wait is BULLSHIT!
My
"love" song for the insurance bureaucrats.
