Ya know, it's really gorram annoying when I call my medical insurance to see whether or not I'll need a referral and they say that yeah, I do. But then I go to the dr's office to get that referral and they tell me the specialist I want to use is not in the network?!?! Gah! Couldn't the guys that I called in the first place have told me it was out of network? Can't imagine why not as I gave them ALL my info and TOLD them the specialist's name and group they're found through.
So now what do I get to do? Call the origial specialst I was gonna go through in the morning, tell them I'm going through a different specialist that's IN network, then hope to god the dr's office FINALLY got approval for a referral through the other specialist. *sigh* They better have gotten that approval by now, I went in at 11am to get the referral in the first place.
Honestly, if it's not one thing, it's another.
